Basic Operations
Controlling The Switching System From The Analog Port
The APC KVM switch includes ports on the rear panel to connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse
for direct analog access. The KVM switch uses the On-Screen Display (OSD), which has menus to
configure the switching system and select target devices. Devices can be identified by customizable
names.
Starting The OSD
You can view, configure and control target devices in the switching system from the OSD interface
from a KVM connection to the analog port.
To start the OSD interface, press Print Screen. Alternatively, you can press the Control, Alt or
Shift key twice within one second to start the OSD interface. You can use any of these key
sequences instead of pressing Print Screen in any procedure in this document. To specify which key
sequences can be used to start the OSD interface, click Setup - Menu.
The Main window lists the target devices in the switching system. You can sort the list by clicking
the Name, eID or Port button.
The Port column indicates the target device interface port to which each target device is connected.
The status of each target device in the switching system is indicated by one or more status symbols
in the right column. The following table describes the status symbols.
