6. KVM Operation
Gamma Adjustment
If it is necessary to correct the gamma level for the remote computer,
use the Gamma function in the Video Settings screen. Under the
Basic configuration, the gamma drop-down list includes ten preset
and four user defined gamma levels to choose from. Simply select
the desired setting from the drop-down list. To set your own gamma
levels, follow the instructions below.
1. Click the Advanced button to bring up the gamma adjustment
settings.
2. Click and drag the diagonal line at as many points as you wish to
achieve the display output you desire. Click the Reset button at
any time to abandon changes and return to the default gamma
settings. Click the Cancel button to abandon changes and close
the Video Settings screen.
3. To save the new gamma settings, select a user defined setting
from the drop-down list and click the Save button. Your gamma
settings will be saved to the selected user defined option.
Video Auto Sync – Click this icon to have the vertical and
horizontal offset values of the remote screen automatically
detected and synchronized with the local screen.
Note: If the local and remote mouse pointers are out of sync,
performing a video auto sync will normally bring them back into
alignment. If the video auto sync fails to align the screen properly,
use the screen position arrows in the Video Settings screen to
make manual adjustments.
Screen Mode – Click this icon to toggle Full Screen mode
on/off. For those accessing the KVM via one of the Windows
clients, right-clicking this icon will toggle Keep Screen Size on/
off. When Keep Screen Size is enabled, turning on Full Screen
mode will not change the size of the remote screen. For
example, remote screens that are set to resolutions lower than
that of the local monitor will be displayed as a box inside of
the local display. When both Keep Screen Size and Full Screen
Mode are enabled, the remote screen will be displayed as a box
with a black background. If Keep Screen Size is disabled and
Full Screen Mode is enabled, the screen will be stretched to fit
the entire local monitor.
Note: Keep Screen Size can only be toggled on/off when using
one of the Windows clients. When using one of the Java clients,
Keep Screen Size is always enabled.

Snapshot – Clicking this icon will take a screenshot of the
remote computer and save it to the local computer. By default,
snapshots are saved to the local computer's desktop. The file
type, quality and location can be changed via the Customize
Control Panel page.
Message Board – The B020-Series KVM supports multiple
user logins, which can give rise to access conflicts. To alleviate
this problem, a message board feature has been provided that
allows users to communicate with each other.
The buttons on the button bar at the top of the message board are
toggles. The actions for each of these buttons are described in the
table below.
Button
Function
Enable/Disable Chat – When disabled, this icon displays next
to the disabled user's name in the User List panel of all users'
message boards. Messages directed to the disabled user are
not displayed on the message board. The button is shadowed
when chat is disabled.
Occupy/Release Keyboard/Video/Mouse – When you occupy
the KVM, other users cannot see the video, and cannot input
keyboard or mouse data. A prompt will come up on the locked
out users' monitor stating which user has occupied the KVM.
The button in the message board is shadowed and this icon
displays next to the occupying user's name in the User List of
all users' message boards.
Occupy/Release Keyboard/Mouse – When you occupy the
KVM, other users can see the video, but cannot input keyboard
or mouse data. The button is shadowed and this icon displays
next to the occupying user's name in the User List of all users'
message boards.
User List Panel
• To hide/unhide the User List panel, click on the arrows in the panel
separator.
• The names of all the logged in users appear in the User List panel.
Select the names of the users that you wish to communicate with
before sending your message.
• If a user has disabled chat, its icon displays before that user's
name.
• If a user has occupied the KVM or the KM, the corresponding icon
displays before that user's name.
