a way for Super Administrators and Administrators to customize which ports Administrators and User accounts have

 

Configuration access to. In order for the Config checkbox to enable Configuration access to a port, the Administrator

 

or User account must be given Port Configuration access to the KVM switch. (See Permissions in the Adding User

 

Accounts section under User Management in OSD Operation for details.)

 

 

When you are done editing access rights to the selected port, click on the Save icon in the lower-right corner of the Access sub-section.

Also at the bottom of the page are Copy and Paste icons. These are used to copy the access settings from one port and paste those same settings to another port. To do this, simply highlight the port you want to copy and click on the Copy icon. Then highlight the port you want to paste to and click the Paste icon.

Port Configuration

The Port Configuration sub-section allows Super Administrators and Administrators to edit port properties settings, assign system macros to a port, and add/remove associated links. When the master KVM is highlighted and the Port Configuration sub-section is selected, the following screen appears.

The only setting that appears on this page is the Occupy Timeout setting. This setting controls the amount of inactivity time before a port that is set to Occupy (see Port Property section on the following page for details) is opened for access by another user. Enter in a value from 0 to 255 seconds. The default is 3 seconds.

When a standard port is highlighted and the Port Configuration sub- section is selected, a screen opens up that contains two sections; Port Property and Associated Link. The Port Property section is opened first by default.
