Saving or Abandoning Changes

Press the F10 key to apply network settings immediately and to make the UltraLink
available to Viewers on the network. Press F9 to cancel the changes. After saving or
canceling your changes, the connect login screen is displayed. To change the
settings, login again at the configure login screen.

Connect Contention

The UltraLink disallows a connection to the local KVM and a Viewer at the same
time. If you login as an administrator, and a Viewer is connected, you send a
message to the Viewer indicating that an administrator has logged in and you
disconnect the Viewer.

As a security precaution, you must login again after disconnecting the Viewer. This
protects against the possibility that you are using the Viewer to login to the local
KVM port (connected to a KVM switch) of the UltraLink that connects to your
Viewer. Instead of logging in and disconnecting yourself, leaving the UltraLink
logged in, you must login again.

If you login with a non-administrator account, the connect login fails and the remote
connection is unaffected.

Password Defeat

If you forget the administrator’s user ID or password, remove the cover of the
UltraLink and place a jumper on the pins labeled, PASSWORD DEFEAT. When this
jumper is in place, a connect login or configure login succeeds with any user ID and
password and the login will be as an administrator. Once logged in, set a new
administrator user ID and password. A reminder that the PASSWORD DEFEAT
jumper is place displays on the UltraLink login screens and when a Viewer logs in.
