The Users option can only be accessed when Security is enabled in the General Settings page. (See
General under On-Screen Display OSD F2 Settings section for details.) Highlight the Users option and
press the [Enter] key to open the User Settings page. In the column on the left side of the screen, all of
the ports on the KVM are listed. On the right side of the screen, there are 6 columns; one for each user
account. For example, column 1 represents the first user account that is displayed in the Security Settings
page. (See the Security Settings section for details.) The letters in each column represent the access rights
that the corresponding user account has for the corresponding port. There are three types of access a user
can be given to a port, which are described below.
• Y – A Y signifies that the corresponding user account has full access rights to the corresponding port.
• V – A V signifies that the corresponding user account has view-only access rights to the corresponding
port, meaning that they can view the remote video, but are not allowed to control the connected
computer with the keyboard and mouse.
• N – A N signifies that the corresponding user account is not allowed to access the corresponding port.
To change the User settings, the administrator must follow the steps below.

6.3.5 Security

The Security option can only be accessed when Security is enabled in the General Settings page. (See
General under On-Screen Display OSD F2 Settings section for details) Highlight the Security option
and press the [Enter] key to open the Security Settings page. The Security Settings page displays all of
the available accounts for the KVM; 1 administrator, 1 supervisor and 6 users. The first column lists the
account Name, the second column lists the account Password, and the third column lists the account Type.
The three available account types are described below.
• Administrator – There is one administrator account available. The administrator has full access to all
ports and settings on the KVM. The administrator is the only account that can access the F2 SETTINGS
menu in the OSD.
• Supervisor – There is one supervisor account available. The supervisor has full access to all ports on
the installation, but is not allowed to access the F2 SETTINGS menu in the OSD. The supervisor is
allowed to access the F1 HELP, F4 SCAN, F5 TUNING, F6 MOVE LABEL and F10 NEW MONITOR
DDC functions in the OSD.
• User – There are six user accounts available. Users' port access rights are limited to those assigned to
them by the administrator. Users are not allowed to access the F2 SETTINGS menu in the OSD, but
can access the F1 HELP, F4 SCAN, F5 TUNING, F6 MOVE LABEL and F10 NEW MONITOR DDC
functions.
To change the Security settings, the administrator must follow the steps below.
1. In the Security Settings page, use the [↓] and [↑] keys to move the cursor to the desired account row.
2. To edit the account Name, simply type the desired name over the current one, and delete any
unnecessary characters. Note: The account Name is for organizational purposes only. The Password is
the only thing an account needs to enter to gain access to the KVM.
3. To edit the account Password, press the [Tab] key to move the cursor to the Password column, and then
enter in the desired password over the current one. Delete any unnecessary characters.
