Customization – Login Failures

•Allowed: Enter into this field the number of unsuccessful login attempts that will be allowed from a remote computer.

•Timeout (minutes): Enter into this field the number of minutes a user must wait before attempting to login again after exceeding the maximum number of unsuccessful logins.

Customization – Working Mode

The Working Mode section allows administrators to toggle particular KVM functions ON/OFF. The table describes the functions that can be controlled:

Function	Description
Enable ICMP	When enabled, the KVM can be pinged and an IP
	address can be assigned with the ARP command.
	If it is not enabled, the device cannot be pinged,
	nor can it be assigned an IP address with the
	ARP command. The default is Enabled.
Enable Device	When enabled, the KVM will show up in the list of
List	recognized devices in the non-browser Windows
	client main screen. If not enabled, the non-
	browser Windows client will not be able to display
	it in the list of recognized devices. The default is
	Enabled.
Force All to	When enabled, the remote display for all users
Grayscale	and ports is displayed in black and white. In low
	bandwidth situations, forcing video to grayscale
	can reduce the amount of data being transferred
	over the network and improve keyboard/mouse
	response time. The default is Disabled.
Enable Browser	When enabled, users are able to access the KVM
	switch via web browser. If browser access is not
	enabled, users must use either the Windows or
	Java non-browser clients to access the switch.
	The default is Enabled.
Enable Multiuser	When enabled, more than one user can log into
	the KVM at the same time. The default is Enabled.
	Note: This does not allow multiple users to
	simultaneously access different ports on the KVM
	switch, it only allows multiple users to login at the
	same time. When logged in at the same time, the
	first user to access the KVM switch will have
	control of the selected port, and all other users
	will be able to view that port.

Customization – Mouse Sync Mode

Determines how the local and remote mouse pointer movement becomes synchronized.

Note: In order to be able to remotely access computers connected to the KVM via the PS/2 connectors on the KVM cable kit, this setting must be set to Manual. It is set to Manual by default.

Selecting Automatic provides automatic syncing of the local and remote mouse pointers, eliminating the need to constantly re-sync the two movements manually. If Automatic syncing isn’t able to keep the pointers in sync, selecting Manual provides you with a number of methods to bring them back into sync. (See the Mouse Synchronization section in this manual for details.)
