Setting	Description
SET IP	This page allows administrators to set the network settings for the KVM.
ADDRESS	DHCP: The first field allows you to enable or disable DHCP. When enabled, the KVM is assigned an IP address by the DHCP
	server. This setting is enabled by default. To disable the DHCP setting and set up a fixed IP address, press the [Spacebar] key.
	Once the DHCP is disabled, you will be allowed to edit the remaining fields in the SET IP ADDRESS page. In the remaining fields,
	enter in the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway you want to assign to the KVM switch. When these fields have been
	populated, press the [Esc] key to exit and pull up a prompt asking if you wish to save the settings you just entered. If you do not
	wish to save the settings, press the [N] key. If you do wish to save the settings, press the [Y] key. Upon pressing the [Y] key, the
	settings will be saved and the KVM will be reset.
	Note: Only an IPv4 address can be assigned using the Local Console OSD. To assign an IPv6 address, use the Web Management
	Interface or Remote OSD. This page only allows you to set a fixed IP address or enable IP address assignment via DHCP server.
	It does not allow you to set the HTTP, HTTPS and Program access ports, assign a DNS server address, or edit the IP Installer
	settings. To set ports and assign a DNS server address, you can use the Web Management Interface or Remote OSD. To edit the
	IP Installer settings, you must use the Web Management Interface.
SET LOGOUT	If there is no input from the console for the amount of time set here, the user will be logged out, requiring them to enter their
TIMEOUT	username and password to regain access to the KVM. This can be set from 0 to 180 minutes, with 0 disabling the function. Simply
	type in the desired time frame and hit the [Enter] key to save your change. This is disabled (0) by default. Note: The Timeout
	function can only be set in the Web Management Interface and the Local Console OSD.
EDIT PORT	This function allows administrators to give each port a unique name, making it easier to find the computer you want to access. To

	2. A name field will appear at the bottom of the screen. Add or edit the port name and hit the [Enter] key to save the change. To exit
	without saving the change, hit the [Esc] key.
	Port names can have a maximum of 12 characters, including any combination of letters and numbers (A-Z,0-9), and the following
	characters: Asterisk [*], Parentheses [()], Plus [+], Minus [-],Colon [:], Comma [,], Question Mark [?], Period [.], Forward Slash [/]
	and Space. Port names are NOT case sensitive. They will always display as uppercase in the OSD.

DEFAULT	and username/passwords. When this function is accessed, a prompt will appear asking if you wish to restore the default settings. If

SET QUICK	Administrators can use this function to mark ports as Quick View ports. This provides a way to customize which ports are

RESET	This function is used when you change the position of one of the KVM stations in a daisy chain. When you change the position­ of
STATION IDs	the station, the OSD does not recognize the change, and will not automatically update the main menu to display the stations in
	correct order. When this function is used, the KVM will scan the entire installation and update the station numbers accordingly.
	The port names of the affected stations will be kept; however, you will need to manually update all other settings (SET
	ACCESSIBLE PORTS, SET QUICK VIEW PORTS, etc.).

FIRMWARE	Note: The KVM has two sets of firmware, one to control IP Access and another to control the KVM’s Mainboard, Input/Output
UPGRADE	Ports and Keyboard. The IP Access firmware must be updated via the Web Management Interface or Remote OSD. The KVM
	Mainboard, Input/Output Ports and Keyboard firmware must be updated via the local console OSD.
	In order to upgrade the KVM Mainboard, Input/Output Ports and Keyboard firmware, Firmware Upgrade Mode must be invoked
	via this setting.
	When you select this option, the firmware version numbers are displayed on the OSD screen, and a prompt will ask if you wish to
	continue with a firmware upgrade. If yes, type in Y. If no, type in N.
