The KVM's MAC address displays here. A MAC address label can also be found on the bottom panel of the console.

upgradeable via the Local Console OSD, controls the basic KVM and console functionality. New firmware files can be downloaded from

that on your KVM.

Force All to Grayscale
When this checkbox is checked, all of the accounts in the installation will be forced to view the remote video in black and white. This can
help improve keyboard and mouse response time on slower networks.
Enable Device List
When this checkbox is checked, the KVM switch will appear in the device list of the non-browser Windows and Java client main pages. If
this checkbox is not checked, you will still be able to access the KVM via the non-browser clients, but you will have to manually type in the
IP address instead of selecting it from the device list.
