Figure 13 The Security settings window
The OSD offers an advanced password security system made up of three different security
levels, each having its own access rights.
Administrator (Status A):
The Administrator has access to all features of the KVM, allow-
ing them to Set/Modify all Passwords and Security Profiles, gain full access to any computer
connected to the KVM and usage of all OSD features.
Supervisor (Status S): The supervisor has full access to all computers connected to the
KVM and can use the Auto Scan (F4), Tuning (F5) and Confirmation Label Moving (F6)
functions in the OSD. The Supervisor can not change any of the OSD Settings or Security
Settings.
User (Status U): There can be up to 6 Users set up by the Administrator for access to the
KVM. Users are able to use the OSD Main Menu to access a connected computer and can
use the Auto Scan (F4), Tuning (F5) and Confirmation Label Moving (F6) functions in the
OSD. Users do not have the ability to use any other OSD features. The Administrator will
choose which computers they have access to and which they do not. There are 3 types of
access the Administrator can give a User:
Y - This gives the user full access to a connected computer.
V - This gives the user view only access to a computer. Keyboard and mouse functionality
are not available.
N - This means a user is not allowed to access a connected computer. If the User attempts
to access a computer they are not allowed to, a blank screen will appear.
When Password Security is set to on, only the administrator can change the
Security Settings of the KVM switch.
