Description
Determines which Decoders can communicate with which Encoders. A Decoder must have a permission level that is
equal to or greater than the Encoder in order for communication to be successful.
Use the KVM Encoders table (on the Decoder's KVM page) to:
• Let the Decoder know the Encoder passwords it needs to establish communication.
• Assign Encoder hotkeys.
• Add/remove Encoders from the Decoder's list.
By default, KVM streams are encrypted with a common password. You can change the password on the Settings
page of the Encoder. If you change Encoder passwords, you will need to supply the new information to the Decoders
to allow communication to continue.
A Decoder only receives password information for the Encoders on the network that have been associated with that
Decoder as mentioned previously.
To use hotkeys for easy switching, enable KVM Directory Screen Enable on the Decoder's KVM page. You can now
access the KVM Directory Screen at any time by pressing the <Scr Lk> button twice on the keyboard connected to
the Decoder. This screen displays all Encoders associated with that Decoder (and their corresponding hotkey).
Multiple Encoders and Decoders can be configured from a single CSV file (which is generated using the KVM Wizard
in N-Able). Once all changes are made, upload the file to each unit using its KVM page.Click the Choose File button,
browse to the CSV file you exported from the wizard, and click the Upload button.
Note: A KVM CSV f ile is specif ic to KVM settings. It is not the same as a unit export CSV f ile.
