Local Console Operation
When setting up your KH1508i / KH1516i installation for the first time, we recommend doing it from the local console.
Local console operation offers a menu driven On Screen Display (OSD) to handle computer control and switching
operations.
All procedures start from the OSD Main Screen. To pop up the Main Screen, tap [Scroll Lock] twice.
The login screen appears:
Enter a valid Username and password to continue.
Note:
1. The default username is administrator; the default password is password. The first time you log in, you must use these
defaults. For security purposes, we strongly recommend that you change the default password to something unique.
2. Usernames and passwords cannot be managed from the local console. User management is handled via remote
administration.
After you successfully log in, a screen similar to the one below appears:
F1 GOTO GOTO allows you to switch directly to a port either by keying in the port's Name, or its
Port ID.
F2 LIST This function lets you broaden or narrow the scope of which ports the OSD displays (lists)
on the Main OSD Screen.
F3 SET This function allows the Administrator and each User to set up their own working
environment.
F4 ADM It allows the Administrator to configure and control the overall operation of the OSD.
F5 SKP This function enables you to easily skip backward or forward, switching the console focus
from the currently active KVM Port to the previous or next available one.
F6 IP This function allows you to select whether to assign the KH1508i / KH1516i's IP address
dynamically (DHCP), or to give it a fixed IP address. Press [Enter] to toggle between the
choices.If you toggle DHCP Enable to Off, specify the IP, Mask, and Gateway in the
appropriate fields.Press [Esc] to exit after you have finished with your choice.
F7 SCAN Pressing [F7] invokes Auto Scan Mode.
F8 LOUT Pressing [F8] logs you out of OSD control of the computers, and blanks the Console screen.
OSD Port Selection
To bring the KVM focus to a port, Double Click it, or move the Highlight Bar to it then press [Enter].

Browser Operation
An On Screen Display (OSD) interface governs remote KH1508i / KH1516i administration as well as user
configuration and port switching operations. The OSD can be accessed either with a Windows-based client or a
Java-based client. In order to perform remote operations, you must first log in via an Internet browser to connect to
the KH1508i / KH1516i.
To log in from an Internet browser:
1. Open the browser and specify the IP address of the KH1508i / KH1516i in the URL bar.
Note: If you don't know the IP address, get it from the KH1508i / KH1516i administrator.
2. When the Security Alert dialog box appears, accept the certificate.
3. A login page appears .
4. Provide a valid Username and Password (set up by the KH1508i / KH1516i administrator), then Click Login to
continue.
After you have successfully logged in, the KH1508i / KH1516i Main Webpage appears with the General dialog box
displayed. You can click the Windows Client button (or Java Client button) to activate the browser-based Windows
Client OSD (or Java Client OSD).

Hotkey Operation Mouse Setup
In addition to being able to access and control the devices on your installation via the OSD, the KH1508i / KH1516i
also supports port control directly from the keyboard with the use of hotkey combinations.
All Hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey Mode. Invoking Hotkey Mode takes three steps:
1. Hold down the Num Lock key;
2. Press and release the minus key;
3. Release the Num Lock key: [Num Lock] + [-];
