Local and Remote
Configuration
The RCS comes equipped with two “point-and-click” interfaces: a local user
interface (local UI) and a remote OBWI. Using the configuration options
provided by these interfaces, you can tailor the switch to your specific
application, control any attached devices, and handle all basic KVM or serial
switch needs.
NOTE: The local UI and remote OBWI are almost identical. Unless specified,
all information in this chapter applies to both interfaces.
From either interface, you can launch two different kinds of sessions:
• The Video Viewer window allows you to control the keyboard, monitor, and
mouse functions of individual target devices connected to the switch in real
time. You may also use predefined global macros to perform actions within
the Video Viewer window. For instructions on how to use the Video
Viewer, see Chapter 4.
• The serial viewer window allows you to manage individual serial target
devices either by using commands or scripts.
Local User Interface (UI)
The switch includes a local port on the back. This port enables you to connect a
keyboard, monitor and mouse directly to the switch and use the local UI.
You can choose any of the following keystrokes to be configured to open the
local UI or to switch between the local UI and an active session: <Print
