Password Protection
There is an administration password for locking the console display and switching between
managed computers. This password can be set by using the OSD. The password supports up to
8 digits, and only accepts “ A~Z ” , “ 0~9 ” . The default password is “ 00000000 ” . For security
reasons, please change the default password the first time you configure the KVM switch. It is
strongly recommend to write down the new password. If the password is forgotten, you will need
to contact the vendor to erase the password that had been set.
Hot Plug Function
KVM switch supports “ Hot Plug ” function. When mouse/keyboard connection has been
changed from one port to the other, it is not necessary to reboot the managed computer for the
change to take effect.
Example:
Computer 1 is originally connected to KVM switch port 1. When you pull out the
keyboard/mouse/VGA cables from port 1 and plug them into port 2, you won’t need to reboot
computer 1 and you can still control the keyboard/mouse/VGA of computer 1.
