Using your Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch
User
The User can switch between servers he or she has been given access to and
can toggle the AutoScan function in the “Main” page. If the Guest account has
been enabled by the Admin, the User logs off to Guest access. If the Admin has
disabled the Guest account, the User will lose focus on the port when he or she
logs out. All hot keys and the front panel will be disabled, with the exception
of opening the OSD, which will present the User with the “Login” dialog. User
accounts can be used by individuals or groups of individuals. The names of the
User accounts are fixed.
Guest
The Guest can switch between servers he or she has been given access to and
can toggle the AutoScan function in the “Main” page. Guest is also the default
user (you never have to log in as the Guest).
Note: When the Guest account is enabled, it defines the minimum privileges that
any user can access. It is possible to restrict User accounts more than the Guest
account; this is a potential mistake to avoid.
Group Column
The “Group” column displays the name of the group to which the server has
been assigned. The server list can be sorted on this field by clicking the mouse
on the column header.
Computer Name Column
The “Computer Name” column displays the name of each connected server
(computer). The server list can be sorted on this field by clicking on the
column header.
User Columns (1, 2, 3, G)
These columns allow administrators to set the access rights to each port (server)
for each user (User1, User2, User3, and Guest). The padlock indicates that
the user (column) will be restricted from accessing that port (row). Empty cells
indicate that the user has full access to that server. To toggle user restrictions for
a particular port, click the corresponding cell in the list box, or select the server
row and type the key corresponding to the user: 1, 2, 3, G (4 also toggles the
guest restrictions).
Console Column
The console currently viewing the server is indicated in this column.
