Description

 

 

Status

Port Status – The status of the selected port is displayed here. If no computer/KVM is connected, or a computer/KVM

 

is connected but not powered on, the port status will show up as Offline. If a computer is connected via B055-001-

 

USB-V2 and powered on, the port status will show up as Online Mountable. If a computer is connected via any other

 

SIU and powered on, the port status will show up as Online.

 

Adapter Type – The model number of the SIU on the selected port will be displayed here.

 

Adapter Version – The firmware version of the SIU on the selected port will be displayed here.

 

 

Properties

Port OS – Selects the OS of the computer connected to the port. The options are Windows, Mac, Sun and Other.

 

OS Language – Selects the language being used on the computer connected to the port.

 

Cable Length – Selects the length of the Cat5e/6 cable being used to connect the port to the SIU. The choices are

 

Short (less than 32 ft.), Medium (32-82 ft.) and Long (over 82 ft.).

 

Access Mode – Selects how the port is to be accessed when multiple users are logged onto the same port at the same

 

time. Choices are Exclusive, Occupy and Share.

 

• Exclusive – The first user to access the port has exclusive control over it, and no other users can access the port. The

 

Occupy Timeout function does not apply to ports that are set to Exclusive.

 

• Occupy – As with Exclusive, the first user to access the port has control over it; however, users that log on at the

 

same time can view the ports video. If the user who controls the port is inactive for longer than the time set in the

 

Occupy Timeout function, port control is transferred to the next user to access it.

 

• Share – In this mode, 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 feature on the

 

Control Panel (see Message Board section under Control Panel in Remote Session Operation for details).

Exit Macro

This section is available only when the highlighted port is connected to a computer. If the highlighted port is connected

 

to a KVM, this setting will not be available. Click on the drop-down menu to open up a list of the System Macros (see

 

System Macros section under Control Panel in Remote Session Operation for details) that are available for use. Choose

 

a macro from this list to have it performed on the selected port upon logging out.

 

 

When you are done editing, click the Save icon to save the changes.

Associated Link

This page allows you to associate links to other ports in the installation with the highlighted port. When an associated link is made, it is displayed in the Associated Link table of the port’s Connections screen (see Connections section under OSD Operation for details). To add an associated link, click the Add button, enter the desired port number in the box that appears, and click the OK button. It will then appear in the list of associated links. To remove a link, simple highlight it and click the Remove button.
