OSD Operation

Connections

The OSD Main page is the same screen that you get when
navigating to the Connections sub-section of the Port Access
section. From this page you can connect to the KVM ports.
All switches and their ports, including cascaded KVM switches,
are listed in a tree structure in the panel at the left of the
screen:
When accessing a port for the first time via web browser,
users will experience a series of prompts:
Internet Explorer
When logging onto the KVM switch via Internet Explorer, the
default viewer is the Windows ActiveX viewer. To use the Java
Viewer when accessing the KVM switch via Internet Explorer, you
need to update the Viewer setting in the User Preferences page
(See User Preferences section under OSD Operation for details).
Note: Windows 7 users must run Internet Explorer as an administrator for
the Active X control to work properly. If you don't run Internet Explore as
an administrator, you will not be able to access the connected computers.
1. When using the Windows ActiveX Viewer and clicking on a
port for the first time, a screen will open up and you will be
prompted to install the Windows ActiveX control. Click on
the prompt and choose to install the ActiveX control.
Note: The screen that opens up may display a page that says the web
pages certificate can not be trusted. If this is the case, click on the
option to continue to the web page anyway.
2. When you install the ActiveX control, you may be prompted
to resend the information in order to display the web page.
Click Retry.
3. Lastly, you will be prompted to install the software. Click
Install.
Non-Windows Browser
When using a non-Windows browser, you will automatically be
connected to remote computers using the Java Viewer.
1. When clicking on a port for the first time, you will be
prompted to run the Java Viewer. Click ok. (To avoid this
prompt every time you access a port, check the checkbox
next to Do this automatically for files like this from now on.)
2. You will then be prompted to run the Java Viewer, and trust
the publisher (Tripp Lite). Click Run.
