KVM s2-1611 switch. The KVM s2-1611 consists of a rack mountable keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) switch configurable for analog or digital connectivity. Each KVM s2-1611 has 16 Fujitsu Siemens Rack Interface (RI) ports for connecting devices and oper- ates over standard LAN connections.
Throughout the documentation and KVM s2-Client user interface, you will see the word “appliance” used generically to describe the KVM s2-1611 switch. Summary of contents Safety notes It is essential to read the following “Safety notes” chapter before starting to work with the KVM s2-1611.
Safety notes This chapter provides radio frequency and safety information for your appliance. Radio frequency information United States radio frequency information Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Precautions and rack mount safety Precautions and rack mount safety Avoiding potential video and/or keyboard problems when using the KVM s2-1611 • If the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computer and monitor are on the same phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.

The Port column indicates the RI port to which a server is connected. If you con- nect a legacy KVM switch to the appliance, the port numbering displays the RI port first, then the switch port to which the server is connected. For example, in Figure 5, servers 06-03 and 01-02 are connected to switches.
Selecting servers You can also press the Control key twice within one second to launch OSCAR. You can use this key sequence in any place you see Print Screen throughout this installer/user guide. 4.2.2 Viewing the status of your appliance The status of the servers in your system is indicated in the right columns of the Main dialog box.
Soft switching is the ability to switch servers using a hot key sequence. You can soft switch to a server by pressing Print Screen and then typing the first few char- acters of its name or number. If you have set a Screen Delay Time and you press the key sequences before that time has elapsed, OSCAR will not display.

Set up a custom scan pattern for up to 16 servers. Set passwords to restrict server access. Enable the screen saver. Identify the appropriate number of ports on an attached cascade switch. Identify servers by unique names.
Accessing the Setup menu Figure 6: Setup Dialog Box 4.4.2 Assigning server names Use the Names dialog box to identify individual servers by name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port order. Names are stored in the KVM s2-Adapter, so even if you move the cable/server to another RI port, the name and configuration will be recognized by the appliance.
4.4.3 Assigning device types While the appliance automatically discovers cascade switches attached to your unit, you will need to specify the number of ports on the cascade switch through the Devices dialog box. The appliance recognizes KVM switches. You will see an Sw-8 or Sw-24 appear in the Type category.
For ex- ample, if the switch is connected to RI port 6, the switch port would be listed as 06 and each server under it would be numbered sequentially 06-01, 06-02 and so on.

Terminal Operations When broadcasting mouse movements, all systems must have identical mouse drivers, desktops (such as identically placed icons) and video resolu- tions for the mouse to work accurately. In addition, the mouse must be in ex- actly the same place on all screens. Because these conditions are extremely difficult to achieve, broadcasting mouse movements to multiple systems may have unpredictable results.

Save the FLASH upgrade file to the appropriate directory on the TFTP server. Once this is complete, the following steps will upload the new FLASH file. When upgrading your switch firmware, ensure that the keyboard coun- try codes with your system correspond with the firmware loaded in your switch.
Do not cycle power to the server or disconnect the KVM s2-Adapter during this process. A loss of power will render the KVM s2-Adapter inoperable and require the switch to be returned to the factory for repair. 5.1.2.1 Simultaneously upgrading multiple KVM s2-Adapters Press Print Screen .
