OSD Operation (continued)

User Preferences

The User Preferences page allows users to set up their own individual working environments. The B064-Series KVM Switch stores

a separate record for each user profile, and sets up the working environment according to the Username that was used to access the KVM switch. Note: The User Preferences page is different on the Web Browser version than the AP Client version. The AP Client version does not include the password, Viewer or Welcome Screen option.

The page settings are explained in the following table:
