Fan Warning Message

The B064- IPG KVM features temperature sensors that turn the unit’s fans on/off at certain temperatures. Checking

 

this checkbox will cause the KVM to beep when the fans stop, and a message will appear on the local console screen

 

asking you to confirm that you are aware of the situation. Note: This notification is prompted whenever a fan stops, and

 

does not necessarily mean that a fan has failed. As fans are programmed to turn off when the unit drops below a certain

 

temperature, this notification may be prompted due to normal operation.

 

 

Fan Speed (RPM)

The current speed of the KVMs 6 fans is displayed here. The speed of the fan is automatically adjusted according to the

 

temperature. (See Specifications section for fan and sensor location)

 

• If any of the KVMs four sensors sense temperatures greater than 32 C, all fans will be set to spin at half speed.

 

• When all four of the KVMs sensors senses the temperature has dropped below 30 C, all of the fans will be turned off.

 

• If any of the KVMs four sensors senses temperatures greater than 45 C, all fans will be set to spin at full speed.

 

• When all four of the KVMs sensors senses the temperature has dropped below 40 C, all of the fans will be brought

 

down to half speed.

Force All to Grayscale

When this checkbox is checked, all of the accounts in the installation will be forced to view the remote video in black and white.

 

This can help improve keyboard and mouse response time on slower networks.

 

 

Enable Device List

When this checkbox is checked, the KVM switch will appear in the device list of the non-browser Windows and Java client main

 

pages. If this checkbox is not checked, you will still be able to access the KVM via the non-browser clients, but you will have to

 

manually type in the IP address instead of selecting it from the device list.

 

 

Enable Adapter ID

When this checkbox is checked, the KVM stores the SIU port properties settings and port access rights, so that if the SIU is

 

moved to another port, these settings are moved with it. Note: When Enable Adapter ID is checked, Administrator and User

 

accounts will not see ports that have a powered-off computer, or no computer, connected to them, even if they are given

 

access to those ports.

Enable First Rider

When this checkbox is checked, only the first user on a bus can switch ports. (See Bus Info section under Control Panel in

Transfer

Remote Session Operation for details.)

 

 

Keyboard/Mouse

This drop-down menu allows you to broadcast the keyboard and/or mouse commands to all accessible computers at the same

Broadcast

time. This functionality is disabled by default. Note: For the broadcast feature to function properly, all of the computers must be

 

running the same OS, all monitors must be set to the same resolution, and the computer screens must have the same layout.

Console Keyboard

Select from the drop-down list the language of the keyboard that is connected to the KVM console port. This defaults at English

Language

US.
