System Operation

The System Operation sub-section allows you to clear port names, and reset the KVM configuration settings to their default values.

The functions available in the System Operation page are explained in the table below.

Field Example

Clear Port Names

Reset Default Values Click this button to undo all configuration changes that have been made to the KVM, and restore them to the factory default settings. This does not affect port names, account information or network information. Upon clicking this button, you will be prompted to confirm that you wish to proceed. Click Yes to proceed.

Reset on Exit

Click this button to clear all of the port names on the installation and restore them to their default values. Upon clicking this button, you will be prompted to confirm that you wish to clear all port names. Click Yes to proceed.

Check this box and click the Apply button to have the KVM switch reset itself and implement all new settings upon logging out.

(Following the reset, allow approximately 30 to 60 seconds before logging back into the KVM.)

If you change the IP address of the KVM, the Reset on Exit checkbox is automatically checked. To prevent the KVM from resetting and saving the new IP address, uncheck this box. Note: Un-selecting this checkbox will only cause the new network

settings to be ignored for one logout. When you log back in, the changes you made still appear in the Network settings fields,

and the Reset on Exit checkbox is once again checked. To ensure that these settings don’t get changed to something you

don’t want, always make sure that you leave the Network settings page with the correct information entered in.

Download

The Download icon is used to download non-browser AP versions of the Windows and Java Clients, as well as the Log Server. Selecting this tab will open a drop-down list of the programs that are available for download.

Note: If you have not been given access to one of these applications, you will not be able to download it.

Click on the Download icon and select the program you want to download. Save it to a convenient location on your hard disk and run it from there.

Remote Session Operation

After you have successfully logged in (see Logging Into the B064-

Series KVM Switch section), the B064-Series KVM Switch OSD

Main Page appears with the Port Access tab selected:

All the ports that a user is permitted to access are listed in the Port

Selection panel at the left of the page. Ports to which users do not have access will not be displayed in their OSD. Double-click a port icon to access the device attached to it. Once you switch to a port, its screen displays on your monitor. Depending on whether you have Full

Access or View Only access to the port, you may or may not be able to operate the remote computer using your keyboard and mouse.

Note: The AP Client and Local Console versions feature a Control

Panel in the top center of the screen that appears when scrolled over with the mouse. The web browser version’s Control Panel is only available when a port has been accessed. (See Control Panel section for details.)

Control Panel

The Control Panel is provided as a way for the user to optimize and control the remote session. Regardless of whether you initiated a remote session via the Windows or Java browser and non-browser clients, the control panel and its functionality remain the same. To display the

Control Panel , hover your mouse pointer over the top-center of the remote screen.

The Control Panel consists of an icon bar at the top and two text bars at the bottom. When the mouse pointer is hovered over an icon, the description of the icon is displayed in the text bar. When the mouse pointer is not over an icon, the text bars display the video resolution of the selected computer and the IP address of the KVM switch. You can drag the control panel to any location on the remote screen by hovering over the text bar, and then clicking-and-dragging it. Each of the icons contained in the Control Panel and their functionality is explained in the sections that follow.
