The Clear Port Names button will delete all of the names that have been created for the ports of the B064-Series KVM Switch. Clicking on this button will first display a prompt that asks you if you are sure you want to clear all the port names.

The Reset Default Values button undoes all configuration changes that have been made to the B064-Series KVM Switch (except for the Port Names) and returns them to the original factory default settings. Clicking on this button will first display a prompt that asks you if you are sure you want to restore all of the default settings.

Clicking the Adapter Attributes button brings up a dialog box that allows you to set attribute parameters for each of the server interface units connected to the B064-Series KVM Switch.

An explanation of the attributes is given in the table below:

Attribute

Description

 

 

Name

This column displays the B064-Series KVM Switch and all of its ports.

 

 

OS

This column displays the operating system of the computer/server that is connected to the corresponding port. Click on

 

the attribute to toggle through the choices. Choices are Windows, Mac, Sun, and Other. The default is Windows.

 

 

Language

Specifies the OS language that is being used on the connected computer/server. Click on this attribute to bring up a list

 

of languages to choose from. The default is US English.

Cable

Specifies the length of the Cat5e cable that is used to connect the computer/server to the KVM switch port. Because the

 

quality of video decreases when using longer cable, the B064-Series KVM Switch will make adjustments to improve the

 

video quality based on this setting.

 

• Select short for a cable that is 80 ft or shorter

 

• Select medium for a cable that is between 80 ft and 115 ft

 

• Select long for a cable that is longer than 115 ft

 

The default is Short.

 

 

Mode

Allows the user to specify the Access Mode for the corresponding port. Click on the attribute to toggle through the

 

choices; Share, Occupy and Exclusive.

 

Exclusive: The first user to switch to the port has exclusive control over the port. No other users can view the port while

 

it is being accessed. The Timeout function does not apply to ports which have this setting.

 

Occupy: The first user to switch to the port has control over the ports keyboard, video and mouse. Additional users may

 

view the port’s video display while it is occupied, but they can not access the keyboard and mouse. If the user occupying

 

the port is inactive for longer than the time set in the Timeout setting, port control is transferred to the next user to move

 

the mouse or strike the keyboard.

 

Share: Users simultaneously share control over the port. Input from the users is placed in a queue and executed

 

chronologically. Under these circumstances, users can take advantage of the Message Board to help avoid confusion

 

(See The Message Board on page 22 for details).

 

Note: The Access Mode of a port can also be set via the Port Properties dialog box.

 

 

Timeout

Sets a time threshold for users that are accessing a port that has an Access Mode of Occupy. If there is no input

 

from the user accessing the port for the amount of time set in this field, the user will be timed out and the port will be

 

released. The next user who enters keyboard or mouse input will be given access to the port.

 

Note: This setting applies to all ports on the installation.

After making your choices, click Save to save your settings and exit.
