Using your Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch
Display Banner
This check box enables a banner to be displayed for system events: pressing
a front-panel button, powering-on the Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch, etc.
The banner is either always displayed, or displayed for a configured time (1–99
seconds). If the timed selection is enabled, the time input determines how long
the banner will remain on-screen after the system event occurs. See the “Using
the MultiView Feature” section (on page 22) and the “Banner” section (on page
34) for additional information on the operation and content of the banner. The
banner configurations are not global; they have to be set independently for
each console.
Display Inactive Ports
Enabling this feature will cause ports that do not have an active server attached
to appear in the server list box, on the “Main” page of the OSD. By default,
inactive ports are displayed. The “Display Inactive Ports” feature is not global; it
has to be set independently for each console.
Display Restricted Ports
Enabling this feature will cause ports that the current user is restricted from
accessing to appear in the server list box, on the “Main” page of the OSD. By
default, restricted ports are displayed. The “Display Restricted Ports” feature is
not global; it has to be set independently for each console.
Alternate Attention Key
This screen allows you to select alternate keys to initiate hot key commands. It
provides compatibility with keyboards that do not feature the identical keys or
that may be using them to perform other functions. You may select any number
of “Alternate Attention” keys.
NOTE: If all options are deselected, “Scroll Lock” becomes the default
“Attention” key.
Display Version Numbers
This screen displays product information, including the model number and the
firmware revisions. The “Display Version Numbers” feature is not global; it only
displays the version numbers for this BANK.
NOTE: When performing flash upgrades, you will have to upgrade each
Rack-Mount Console KVM Switch, other KVM switch, and KVM
expander individually.
