28. Security

The OSD offers an advanced password security system made up of three different security levels, each having its own access rights.

Administrator (Status A): The Administrator has access to all features of the KVM, allowing them to Set/Modify all Passwords and Security Profiles and gain full access to any computer connected to the KVM and usage of all OSD features.

Supervisor (Status S): The supervisor has full access to all computers connected to the KVM and can use the Auto Scan (F4), Tuning (F5) and Confirmation Label Moving (F6) functions in the OSD. The Supervisor can’t change any of the OSD Settings or Security Settings.

User (Status U): There can be up to 6 Users set up by the Administrator for access to the KVM. Users are able to use the OSD Main Menu to access a connected computer and can use the Auto Scan (F4), Tuning (F5) and

Confirmation Label Moving (F6) functions in the OSD. Users do not have the ability to use any other OSD features. The Administrator will choose which computers they have access to and which they do not. There are 3 types of access the Administrator can give a User:

Y - This gives the user full access to a connected computer.

V - This gives the user view only access to a computer. Keyboard and mouse functionality are not available.

N - This means a user is not allowed to access a connected computer. If the User attempts to access a computer they are not allowed to, a blank screen will appear.
