Before connecting the iKVM switch to a supported analog switch, you must
set the iKVM switch to display in slot order, and set the Screen Delay Time to
1 or more seconds:
1 Press <Print Screen> to launch the iKVM Switch OSCAR.
2 Click Setup > Menu. The Menu dialog box appears.
3 Select Slot to display servers numerically by slot number.
4 Enter a screen delay time of at least 1 second.
5 Click OK.
Setting the Screen Delay time to 1 second allows you to soft switch to a server
without launching OSCAR.
NOTE:
Soft switching allows you to switch servers using a hot key sequence. You
can soft switch to a server by pressing <Print Screen> and then typing the first few
characters of its name or number. If you have a Delay Time set and you press the
key sequences before that time has elapsed, OSCAR will not display.
To configure the analog switch:
1 Press <Print Screen> to open the OSCAR Main dialog box.
2 Click Setup → Devices → Device Modify.
3 Select the 16-port option to match the number of blades in your system.
4 Click OK to exit OSCAR.
5 Press <Print Screen> to verify that the settings have taken effect. The slot
number of the blade to which the iKVM switch is now attached should be
expanded to display each of the slot locations of the blades in the system.
For instance, if the iKVM switch is attached to slot 1, it would now be
displayed as 01-01 to 01-16.
