4. Local Console

This chapter explains how to operate the NetCommander IP via the local console. The local console allows you to access connected

computer/servers, conﬁgure the KVM’s network settings, and to conﬁgure some more basic settings speciﬁc to local access.

To display the OSD:

1. From the local keyboard, press the left Shift key twice. The

OSD Main window appears.

Lines with sun icons in the PM column show active computers/

servers. A computer that is connected, but is powered-off, does

not have a sun icon. When a server is busy (when an account is

accessing it in an Exclusive Session), the entire line appears in red

characters.

Navigating the OSD:

• To move the highlight bar throughout the list, press the [h] and [i] arrow keys.

• To jump from one column to the next (when relevant), press the [Tab] key.

• To exit the OSD or return to a previous window within the OSD, press the [Esc] key.

To select a computer:

1. Navigate to the desired port using the [h] and [i] arrow keys, or type the two-digit port number of the desired computer.

2. Press the [Enter] key. The selected computer is accessed.

4.1 Move Label (F1)

When a Target Server is accessed via the local console, a Conﬁrmation Label appears brieﬂy, displaying the port number and name of the

Target Server being accessed. After a few seconds, the Conﬁrmation Label disappears. You can position the Conﬁrmation Label anywhere on

the screen using the OSD’s MOVE LABEL (F1) function.

1. Open the OSD and highlight the desired computer using the [h] and [i] arrow keys.

2. Press the [F1] key. The selected port’s video and Conﬁrmation Label appear.

3. Use the arrow keys to move the label to a desired position on the screen.

4. Press the [Esc] key to save the position and exit.

4.2 Tuning (F5)

You can tune the image of any Target Server using the OSD’s TUNING (F5) function.

1. Open the OSD and highlight the desired computer using the [h] and [i] arrow keys.

2. Press the [F5] key. The selected port’s video and the Image Tuning Label appears.

3. Use the [h] and [i] arrow keys to adjust the image.
