When you attempt to preempt another user or Admin, a Message appears on your screen, and a Preempt Warning appears on the screen of the user or Admin.
These messages appear for the time assigned in the Timeout Seconds field set through either the local OSD or the HP IP Console Viewer. If the user you are preempting does not respond within the selected time, the user is disconnected and the preemption is granted.

You can manage the console switch system from the Commands dialog box with the OSD.
Managing the console switch system includes engaging Scan mode, managing user connections, running diagnostics, and updating your firmware.
