Ports Settings

Operation (continued)

Editing the Switch Name

The KVM Switch Name appears at the bottom of the OSD General Settings Menu, and can be changed to whatever you want. When cascading, it is necessary to access the cascaded KVMs OSD using it's own hotkey. Giving cascaded KVMs OSDs unique names makes it easier when accessing them to verify which switches OSD you are accessing. To change this name simply type over the existing letters. You can create a name up to 18 characters in length, with spaces counting as characters.

Reset OSD General Settings Menu to Defaults (F7)

When in the OSD General Settings Menu, you can reset all of the options to the original default settings, erasing any changes you have made. If you have changed the Security Passwords, they will be reset to their defaults as well.

In the OSD Settings Menu (Access by pressing F2 in the OSD Main Menu), highlight the Ports option and press enter.

Editing the Computer Name

Figure 11 Ports Settings window

By default each port is named 'Computer 01, Computer 02, etc.' To personalize these names for each computer, highlight the desired port and type directly over the text that's already there. Each name has a maximum of 15 characters, each space counting as one character. To delete a character, simply highlight it and press the space bar.

Editing the Keyboard (KB) Column

The KVM operates with Windows, Linux, HP UX, Alpha UNIX, SGI, DOS, Novell, MAC, USB or Open VMS. By default the Keyboard Mode is set to PS for Intel Based computers. For a different keyboard mode, highlight the desired port and press the Tab key to highlight the KB column. Press the space bar to toggle through the following options:

U1 - HP UX

U2 - Alpha UNIX, SGI or Open VMS

U3 - IBM AIX

Adding/Changing a Hotkey (HKEY) for Cascaded KVM Switches

When a KVM Switch is cascaded to the Console KVM, it is necessary to select a hotkey in this field. This is required so the top-level KVM knows that when the Cascaded KVM Port is selected and you hit the selected OSD Hotkey Command, it is supposed to pull up the OSD Main Menu for that KVM switch. If a Hotkey is not selected for a cascaded KVM, you will not be able to access the cascaded KVMs OSD. For connected computers/servers this field should have “NO” selected.
