3.1 Basic Operations- Overview
Your APC KVM Switch may be operated in a non-secure (no password required)
or secure (password required) mode. All units ship defaulted to the non-secure
mode. For information on implementing password security, see the “Administrator
Functions” section of chapter 4.
Computers may be powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once. No operator
intervention is required during booting. As the system stabilizes, the green LED
over each channel will light, indicating that the attached computer is powered on.
A computer may now be selected via the on-screen display menu or, if you are
in non-secure mode, channel push-buttons, the Scan button or keyboard hot-key
sequence. The amber LED will light at the active computer.
The Scan push-button has one LED over it. Press the button momentarily to
switch to the next computer in sequence. The LED will turn amber briefl y during
the channel switch. Press and hold the button for one second to initiate channel
scanning. The LED will turn green while you are in scan mode.
There is one status LED. The LED lights red if an internal failure occurs. The
LED will blink green for several seconds during power-up while the system
performs a self-diagnostic. After initialization, the LED remains green during
normal operation and blinks only when you are in Command Mode.
