To unlock the C5 KVM remote unit enter the password followed by the RETURN key e.g. –
NOTE - The password consists of a combination of key strokes rather like the code to a safe. The key strokes are
not case sensitive and can include all the keys on the keyboard (except CTRL, ALT, SHIFT and ENTER).
Consequently the following 'password' would be valid –
To set the password, enter configuration mode by typing 'HOTKEYS' and RETURN on the keyboard attached to
the remote unit (see section 2.8). When in configure mode type 'P' then RETURN. Now enter the password which
may be up to 40 characters. The password is not case sensitive and can be any combination of key strokes,
including the function keys, but excluding the CTRL, ALT, SHIFT and RETURN keys. When you have typed in your
password press RETURN to register it in the stored memory. Do not worry if you type the password incorrectly, you

What to do if you're C5 KVM is locked and you have lost or forgotten the password
If your C5 KVM is locked and you have lost or forgotten the password then you may clear the password if you have
access to the local unit. To clear the password power down the remote unit and switch option switch 3 on the local
unit to the on position (see section 2.6). When you next power on the remote unit it will go straight into
configuration mode allowing you to clear or change the password. You will then need to set option switch 3 on the
local unit back to its default (off) position or the remote unit will go into configuration mode every time that you
switch it on.
4.7 Querying the C5 KVM's firmware version
For technical support purposes it is sometimes useful to know the firmware version of the C5 KVM. The C5 KVM
can report its firmware version using a configuration mode function.
To find the firmware version of your C5 KVM will first need to be running a program on your computer that displays
text when you type at the keyboard. Suitable programs are text editors, word processors or command prompts. It
doesn't matter what program you use provided that the characters typed in at the keyboard are displayed on the
screen. Enter configuration mode by pressing 'HOTKEYs' and RETURN together (see section 4.5). Now type the
following on the keyboard connected to the remote unit:
The version number will be reported on the computer screen as the letter V followed by three numbers. For
example, it the C5 KVM reports V118 the the firmware version is 1.18.
