4.2.6.1 Editing the computer name

In this window you can edit the computer names with up to 15 characters. When you
have a cascaded CAT5 KVM Switch connected to a Computer port give the switch a
distinct name. See Figure 16.

To erase a character:

Select it and press the Spacebar. Blank spaces remain in place of the erased character.

To erase an entire line:

Place the cursor at the beginning of the line. Keep the Spacebar depressed until the
line is erased.

By default the Keyboard mode is set to PS, which is suitable for Windows, Linux,
MAC OS, SUN Solaris and most other operating systems.

For certain UNIX operating systems set the KB column as follows:

·

U1 for HP UX

·

U2 for Alpha UNIX, SGI, Open VMS

·

U3 for IBM AIX

4.2.6.3 (HKEY) hotkey - Cascading

When there are cascaded switches, and the lower level Switch has had its OSD
display hotkey changed, you must do the following:

Adjust the HKEY setting in the Ports Settings window of the higher level switch to
reflect the lower level switch’s new hotkey: E.g. in Figure 16 above a Smart CAT5
switch is connected to port #3 and its display hotkey is Ctrl, F11.

To reflect the new hotkey:

1. On the line to which the Switch is connected, press Tab to jump to the HKEY

column.

2. Toggle between the options using the Spacebar.

3. Return to the Settings window by pressing Esc.
