6.3.2 Ports

Highlight the Ports option and press the [Enter] key to open the Port Settings page. This page allows
you to edit port names, set the remote computer keyboard type, and set the hotkey for ports that
have second level KVM switches connected to them. The table below describes each of these
settings.
Column Description
NAME The first column displays the name associated to each port. You can change this
by moving the cursor to the desired port name and simply typing over the existing
name with the desired name. Port names can be up to 15 characters in length, with
spaces counting as characters.
KB The second column displays the keyboard type associated with each port. By default,
each port is set to PS, which works with Intel-based computers and UNIX servers
connected using a B078-101-USB-1. To toggle this setting between the options listed
below, move the cursor to the desired port, press the [Tab] key to move to the KB
column, and then press the [Spacebar] key.
• PS – Intel-based computers and UNIX servers connected using a B078-101-USB-1
• U1 – HP UX
• U2 – Alpha UNIX, SGI or Open VMS
• U3 – IBM AIX
HKEY By default, the HKEY setting for each port is NO, which means that a computer
is connected to it. When a second level KVM is connected to a port, you need to
update this setting to display its hotkey. To toggle this setting between the various
hotkeys, move the cursor to the desired port, press the [Tab] key to move to the
HKEY column, and then press the [Spacebar] key.

6.3.3 Time

Highlight the Time option and press the [Enter] key to open the Time Settings page. This page lists
all of the KVM ports on the left, and 3 time columns on the right, which are described below.
SCN – Sets the amount of time spent on the selected port during an Auto Scan. The default scan
interval is 30 seconds. A setting of 000 causes the corresponding port to be skipped during an Auto
Scan.
LBL – Sets the amount of time that the port's label is displayed on screen. The default label display
time is 30 seconds. A setting of 999 causes the label to be displayed continuously. A setting of 000
causes the label not to appear at all.
T/O – When Security is enabled, you set the KVM to logout after a specified amount of time. When
this time is reached, entering the OSD invocation command brings up a prompt asking you to
enter a password, which is required to regain access to the KVM. The default timeout value is 30
seconds. A setting of 999 disables the timeout function. Note: A setting of 000 causes the KVM to
logout immediately, not allowing the user enough time to hit the OSD invocation command to pull
up the password prompt. It is recommended that you always keep the timeout setting at 5 seconds
or higher. If you set the timeout setting at 000 and get locked out of the KVM, turn the unit off and
then back on. When turned back on, you will be able to use the OSD invocation command to pull
up the password prompt and regain access to the OSD.
To set the time periods mentioned above, follow the steps below.
1. Move the cursor to the desired port row and press the [Tab] key to jump to the desired column.
2. When the cursor is moved to the desired column, simply type in the time interval.
