User Management

Device Assignment

When a user logs into the B064-Series KVM Switch, the OSD comes up with the Port Access page displayed. All the ports that the user is permitted to access are listed in the Port Selection list on the left side of the page. Access permissions for those ports and the devices connected to them are assigned on a port-by-port basis from the User or Group list of the User Management page.

Assigning Device Permissions

Assigning device permissions is the same in both the user’s notebook and the group’s notebook.

To assign device permissions, do the following:

1.Select the user/group name from the User/Group list or select the user/group name in the Main Panel and click Modify.

2.In the notebook that comes up, select the Devices tab. A screen, similar to the one below, appears:

•All ports on the installation are listed in the Names column.

•The Access column includes check boxes that determine the type of access the user/group has for the corresponding port.

•The Config column contains a single check box to the right of the B064-Series KVM Switch icon that enables/disables access to the KVM switches configuration settings.

•The View Log column contains a single check box to the right of the B064-Series KVM Switch icon that permits/restricts viewing of the log file.

3.Click on the check box next to the desired port to toggle through the three types of access rights.

Full Access – Allows the user to view the remote screen and perform operations on the remote system via their keyboard and mouse.

View Only Access – Only allows the user to view the video of the remote system. They are not allowed to perform operations via their keyboard and mouse.

No Access – This prevents the port from being displayed on the user’s OSD. They will not be able to access the port.

Note: You can assign port access to multiple ports by using the [Shift] or [Ctrl] keys. Simply highlight the port that you want to start with, and hold down the [Shift] key and click on another port to highlight the starting port, the last port and all ports in between. Using the [Ctrl] key, you would highlight the starting port, hold down the [Ctrl] key and click on any other ports you want to highlight at the same time. (You must hold down the [Ctrl] key until you are done highlighting ports. Once you’ve highlighted the desired ports, click on any of the Access check boxes to the right to change the port access to all of them.

4.In the Config column, click on the check box to assign or deny the user/group access to configure the B064-Series KVM Switch’s settings. A check mark indicates that the user/group has access to both the Device Settings icon and Maintenance icon in the OSD. An X means that the user is denied permission to make configuration changes.

5.In the View Log column, click on the check box to assign or deny the user/group access to the B064-Series KVM Switch Log File. A check mark indicates that the user/group has permission to view the B064-Series KVM Switch’s log files. An X means that the user is denied permission to view the files.

6.When you have finished making your choices, click Save.

7.In the confirmation popup that appears, click OK.
