Remote Session
Multiuser Operation
B064-Series KVM Switches are designed to allow multiple users to access connected computers/servers simultaneously.
• The B064-032-02-IPH and B064-016-02-IPH are designed with 3 buses, which support 1 local user and 2 simultaneous remote
users. When multiple users are logging on at the same time, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, etc. users to log in are all on the first bus. The
2nd, 4th, 6th, etc. users to log in are all on the second bus. The rules for multi-user operation in the table that follows this
section apply to all users who are on the same bus.
• The B064-032-02-IPH and B064-016-02-IPH are designed with 4 buses, which share among 1 local user and 4 simultaneous
remote users. When multiple users are logged on at the same time, the 1st, 5th, 9th, etc. users are all on the first bus. The
2nd, 6th, 10th, etc. users are all on the second bus. The 3rd, 7th, 11th, etc. users are all on the third bus. The 4th, 8th, 12th, etc.
users are all on the fourth bus. The rules for multi-user operation in the table that follows this section apply to all users who
are on the same bus.
Operation
Rules for Multi-Users on the Same Bus
Auto Scan Mode
When Auto Scan mode is started, all users on that bus will go into Auto Scan mode. If a user on the same
bus is in the OSD, they will not go into Auto Scan mode until they access one of the ports.
Auto Scan mode can be stopped by any user by opening the OSD. When this occurs, all other users on
the bus are switched to the port that last held the KVM's focus during Auto Scan mode.
• When Panel Array mode is invoked, all users on that bus will go into Panel Array mode. If a user on the
Panel Array Mode
• Only the user who starts Panel Array mode can use the skip icons in the Panel Array Toolbar
• Only the user who starts Panel Array mode can switch ports. When switching to another port, all users
• Individual users can increase/decrease the number of panels they can see in Panel Array mode;
Auto Scanning
The Auto Scan function automatically switches among all accessible ports at regular intervals, so that the user can monitor their
activity without having to manually switch between ports. The ports that are accessed in Auto Scan mode can be further filtered
via the Filter section of the Port Access page. (See Filter section under Connections in OSD Operation for details.)
Setting the Scan Interval
The scan interval used during Auto Scan mode can be set in the User Settings menu. (See User Preferences section under OSD
Operation for details.) The scan interval can be set from 1 to 255 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
Invoking Auto Scan
Auto Scan Mode can be invoked when in the OSD or when in a remote session. When in the OSD, Auto Scan mode can be
invoked by clicking on the Auto Scan button in the lower-left corner of the Port Access section. When in a remote session, Auto
Scan Mode can be invoked by opening the OSD toolbar and tapping the A key. Once started, Auto Scan cycles through the ports
in order, starting with the first accessible port on the installation. During Auto Scan Mode, an S appears in front of the Port ID
Display to indicate that the port is being accessed under Auto Scan Mode.
Pausing Auto Scan
Auto Scan Mode can be paused in order to keep the focus on a particular computer by pressing P during an Auto Scan. When
paused, the S that displays in front of the Port ID blinks On and Off. Pausing when you want to keep the focus on a particular
computer can be more convenient than exiting Auto Scan Mode because when you resume scanning, you start from where you
left off. If you were to exit and then restart Auto Scan Mode, the scanning would start over from the very first computer on the
installation. To resume Auto Scan Mode after pausing, press any key except [Esc] or the [Spacebar], which will exit Auto Scan
Mode completely.
Exiting Auto Scan
While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard functions are suspended. You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order to regain
normal control of the keyboard. To exit Auto Scan Mode press [Esc] or the [Spacebar] .
same bus is in the OSD, they will not go into Panel Array mode until they access one of the ports. Panel
Array mode can only be overridden by Super Administrators and Administrators.
on the bus are switched to the same port. If a user does not have access to the port, they will be
unable to view it.
however, the picture quality may get worse as the number of panels is decreased. For this reason, it is
recommended that the user who starts Panel Array mode set it to display at least four panels.
