Figure 11 Ports Settings window
Editing the Computer Name
By default each port is named 'Computer 01, Computer 02, etc.' To personalize these names
for each computer, highlight the desired port and type directly over the text that's already
there. Each name has a maximum of 15 characters, each space counting as one character. To
delete a character, simply highlight it and press the space bar.
Editing the Keyboard (KB) Column
The KVM operates with Windows, Linux, HP UX, Alpha UNIX, SGI, DOS, Novell, MAC,
USB or Open VMS. By default the Keyboard Mode is set to PS for Intel Based computers.
For a different keyboard mode, highlight the desired port and press the Tab key to highlight
the KB column. Press the space bar to toggle through the following options:
U1 - HP UX
U2 - Alpha UNIX, SGI or Open VMS
U3 - IBM AIX
Adding/Changing a Hotkey (HKEY) for Cascaded KVM Switches
When a KVM Switch is cascaded to the Console KVM, it is necessary to select a hotkey in
this field. This is required so the top-level KVM knows that when the Cascaded KVM Port is
selected and you hit the selected OSD Hotkey Command, it is supposed to pull up the OSD
Main Menu for that KVM switch. If a Hotkey is not selected for a cascaded KVM, you will
not be able to access the cascaded KVMs OSD. For connected computers/servers this field
should have “NO” selected.
Editing the Switch Name
The KVM Switch Name appears at the bottom of the OSD General Settings Menu, and can
be changed to whatever you want. When cascading, it is necessary to access the cascaded
KVMs OSD using it's own hotkey. Giving cascaded KVMs OSDs unique names makes it
easier when accessing them to verify which switches OSD you are accessing. To change this
name simply type over the existing letters. You can create a name up to 18 characters in
length, with spaces counting as characters.
