KVM Access Management Software User Manual68
Port Configuration (For Cat5e KVM Devices). Allows you to configure the port from within KVM
ACCESS, without accessing the device directly.
Note: If the link between KVM ACCESS and the device is broken, device configuration
changes will not be transmitted to the device. To make device configuration changes log in to
the device directly (see “KVM ACCESS Options” on page 53, for details).
This Panel Menu page is used to set the I/O attributes of the selected port.
The attribute headings are described in the table:
To configure the settings, refer to the device's User Manual to obtain the necessary information. When
you have finished making your configuration settings, click Save.
PDU Devices and Outlets
Selecting a Power device or one of its outlets opens a page with two entries on the Panel Menu bar:
Properties, and Access Rights. Each of these items is discussed in the sections that follow.
Note:: 1. When you select a Power Device in the Sidebar, and expand the entries below it,
the first station shown below the entry is the entry itself.
Properties (PDU). The settings found on the Properties page for the device, station, or outlet are similar
to the ones described in the KVM Devices and Ports section. See page 63 for details.
Heading Meaning
Port Name This is the name given to the port.
Exit Macro If system macros have been made, drop down the list to select the one you want. When you close
the KVM viewer the macro will be sent to the server connected to this port and the server will run it.
Cable Specifies the length of the Cat5e cable that is used to connect the computer to the port.
OS Specifies the operating system that the computer on the connected port is using.
Language Specifies the OS language being used by the computer on the connected port.
Mode Corresponds to the Access Mode setting on the original device (Share, Occupy, Exclusive). It
defines how the port is accessed when multiple users have logged on.
Exclusive: The first user to switch to the port has exclusive control over the port. No other users can
view the port. The Timeout function does not apply to ports which have this setting.
Occupy: The first user to switch to the port has control over the port. However, additional users
may view the port's video display. If the user who controls the port is inactive for longer than the
time set in the Timeout box, port control is transferred to the next user to move the mouse or strike
the keyboard.
Share: Users simultaneously share control over the port. Input from the users is placed in a queue
and executed chronologically.
