OSD Operation

Log

The B064-Series KVM switch logs all the events that take place and writes them to a log file. The Log section is split into two sub-sections; Log
Information and Notification Settings.
Log Information
The Log Information sub-section is where you can view the contents
of the built-in log file. When opened, a page similar to the one below
appears.

Notification Settings
The Notification Settings sub-section allows you to select which events are sent out to SNMP, SMTP and SysLog servers. Simply check the
checkboxes in the rows of the events that you want notifications sent out for, and in the column(s) of the methods you want them to be sent to. When
checked, the corresponding event notification will be sent using the corresponding method. Note: Notifications default with an "X", which means
they are disabled. Click on a notification box to mark it with a check, enabling it. You can check multiple boxes at the same time using the [Shift]
or [Ctrl] keys. To highlight a group of consecutive ports, start by highlighting the first port, hold down the [Shift] key, and then highlight the last
port that you wish to highlight. All ports from the first one you highlighted to the last will be highlighted. You can then click on any of the permission
checkboxes to change that permission for all of the highlighted ports. To highlight multiple non-consecutive ports, start by highlighting the first port,
hold down the [Ctrl] key, and then highlight each additional port one by one while continuing to hold down the [Ctrl] key. When all of the desired
ports are highlighted, click on any checkbox to change that permission for all of the highlighted ports.
