Buzzer
To enable/disable the buzzer (actually, a beeping sound) and to toggle between the two settings,
press <Scroll Lock> + <Scroll Lock> + <B> + <Enter>. By default, the buzzer is on.
Auto-Scan
To automatically scan through all the connected ports in the switch system and display them
on the console monitor, press <Scroll Lock> + <Scroll Lock> + <S> + <Enter>. The console
mouse and keyboard are disabled in Auto-Scan mode to prevent errors due to such things as
erratic movement and incorrect character input.
To stop Auto-Scan, simply press any key on the console keyboard or press any of the front-
panel channel/port buttons.
To adjust the Auto-Scan time interval or to set up either of the Auto Scan modes — scanning
all working computers or scanning only computers marked for Auto-Scan — go to the Auto-
Scan menu on the on-screen display.
Console Lock
To lock the console in order to prevent access by unauthorized users, press <Scroll Lock> +
<Scroll Lock> + <H> + <Enter>. NOTE: The Security mode must be enabled on the OSD in
order to activate this function. (See OSD / Security: <F5>.)
To unlock the console, press any key to display the username/password prompt, then enter
your username and password (as established in the Security: <F5> section on the OSD). The
KVM switch and console devices will be unlocked and returned to normal operational status.
OSD (On-Screen Display)
The on-screen display presents all the features and options available with the Rackmount KVM
Switch. Use the console mouse or the console keyboard arrow keys to navigate within and
through the various menu screens.
Main Menu
To activate and display the OSD main menu,
press <Scroll Lock> + <Scroll Lock> + <Enter>.
The channel number, channel name and status
are listed, along with various other indicators,
options, functions and sub-menus.
KVM Layer — Displayed on the left side of the
top information bar, “1st” (as in the image at
right), “2nd” or “3rd” indicates the currently
selected cascade level of the switch system.
Language — The current operational language
(“En” for English in the image at right) is
displayed to the right of the KVM Layer on the top information bar (See OSD / Setup: <F1>.)
Current Active Channel Number — Displayed on the right side of the top information bar
(shown as “07” in the image above), this 2- to 6-digit identier is formatted as XX-YY-ZZ,
where “XX” represents the Layer 1 (master switch) channel connection, “YY” the Layer 2
channel and “ZZ” the Layer 3 channel. Thus, “16-10-03” indicates that the currently active
computer is connected to Port 3 of a Layer 3 slave, which is connected to Port 10 of a Layer
2 slave, which is connected to Port 16 of the master switch.
Cascade Parent Channel Number — Displayed beneath the KVM Layer (“12” in the image
above), this is the channel/port number of the Layer 2 or Layer 3 KVM switch to which the
selected computer is connected. If the selected unit is connected to the master, this is blank.
