User Preferences

The User Preferences page allows users to set up their own
individual working environments. The B064-Series KVM
Switch stores a separate record for each user profile, and sets
up the working environment according to the Username that
was used to access the KVM switch. Note: The User Preferences
page is different on the Web Browser version than the AP Client
version. The AP Client version does not include the password,
Viewer or Welcome Screen option.
The page settings are explained in the following table:
Setting Description

German, Russian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese.

Lock] [Scroll Lock].
ID Display Selects how the Port ID is displayed: the Port Number alone (PORT NUMBER); the Port Name alone
(PORT NAME); or the Port Number plus the Port Name (PORT NUMBER + PORT NAME). The default is
PORT NUMBER + PORT NAME.
ID Duration Determines how long a Port ID displays on the monitor after a port change has taken place. You can
choose an amount from 1—255 seconds. The default is 3 seconds. A setting of 0 (zero) means the Port

the screen is blanked, simply moving the mouse over the screen will bring it back up.

Logout Timeout If there is no user input for the amount of time set with this function, the user is automatically logged out.
A login is needed before the B064-Series KVM Switch can be accessed again. The default is 30 minutes.
Toolbar The Toolbar option allows you to enable/disable the OSD Toolbar. (See The OSD Toolbar section under
Remote Session Operation for details.) As all of the features of the OSD Toolbar are available in the
Control Panel, you may want to disable it. The default setting is enabled.
Viewer In the browser version of this page, a viewer section is available. You can choose which viewer method is
preferred when connecting to a port by clicking the up or down arrow to shift around the viewer method
position. Usable viewers are automatically determined by the status of the system at the time of the login
and by browser type. When you try to connect to a port (double-click the port or select a port and click
Connect), the system will use the viewer according to the viewer list.
