Basic Operation
Port Selection
KN9008 / KN9016 installations provide three methods to obtain instant access
to any computer in your installation: Manual, OSD, and Hotkey.
Manual
For manual port selection, simply press the Port Selection Switch that
corresponds to the device you wish to access.
OSD/GUI
The KN9008 / KN9016 provides two menu driven interfaces to the port
selection procedure: A text-based OSD (On Screen Display), when you log in
from a local console; and a GUI (Graphical User Interface) when you log in
remotely over the internet. Local console OSD operation is discussed in the
next chapter; GUI operations are discussed in Chapter 7 (for Windows logins)
and Chapter 8 (for Java logins).
Keyboard Hotkeys
Hotkeys allow you to conveniently provide KVM focus to a particular
computer from the local console keyboard, instead of having to manually select
them by pressing Port Selection switches. See Hotkey Operation, page 40, for
details.
