KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932 User Manual
An explanation of the configuration fields is given in the table, below:
Field
Port Name For convenience – especially in large installations with many
switches and ports – each switch and each port can be given a name.
Key in a name for the port (or change/delete a previous one). The
maximum number of characters allowed for a port name is 15. You
can use any combination of letters, numbers, and symbols on the
typewriter keys of keyboards with PC US English layout.
OS Language Specifies the OS language being used by the server on the
connected port. Drop down the list to see the available choices. The
default is English US.
Port OS Specifies the operating system that the server on the connected port
is using. Choices are Win, Mac, Sun, and Other. The default is Win.
Operating Defines how the port is to be accessed when multiple users have
Mode logged on, as follows:
Exclusive: The first user to switch to the port has exclusive control
over the port. No other users can view the port. The Occupy
Timeout function does not apply to ports which have this setting
(see Occupy Timeout – below, in this table).
Occupy: The first user to switch to the port has control over the port.
However, additional users may view the port's video display. If the
user who controls the port is inactive for longer than the time set in
the Occupy Timeout box, port control is transferred to the next user
to move the mouse or strike the keyboard.
Share: Users simultaneously share control over the port. Input from
the users is placed in a queue and executed chronologically.
Occupy This field sets a time threshold for ports whose Access Mode has
Timeout been set to Occupy (see Operating Mode – above, in this table). If
there is no activity from the user occupying the port for the amount of
time set here, the user is timed out and the port is released. The first
user to send keyboard or mouse input after the port has been
released gets to occupy the port. Input a value from 1 to 240
seconds. The default is 3 seconds.
When you have finished making your configuration settings click Save to
return to the Properties main page.
