11-5. Supplying Power to a KVM Switch
There are two methods available to supply power to a KVM Switch.
i. POWER SUPPLY:ALWAYS ON
The power is constantly supplied to a KVM Switch from a power outlet.
ii. Server Synchronization (LINK WITH SERVER)
The power is supplied to a KVM Switch from a power outlet at the same time as a server is
turned on (except for some monitoring circuits). At least one server is required.
The default setting is the POWER SUPPLY:ALWAYS ON method. The power supply method
can be changed by the "POWER SUPPLY" item on the OSD.
In addition, the power supply method can also be changed by pressing [AUTOSCAN] and
[RESET] on the front panel at the same time.
Point Two methods are available to be set as the desired power supply method for a KVM
Switch.
11-6. Port 1 Fixed Mode Setting
"Port 1 Fixed Mode", which makes port 1 always active while power is supplied to a KVM
Switch, can be set.
Even when the power of servers other than the port 1 server are turned ON, the port 1 selection
is retained.
Setting Method
(1) Connect the AC Adapter to the KVM Switch, and supply power to the KVM Switch.
While setting this mode, do not connect any other devices (such as a keyboard, mouse,
monitor, and servers) except for the AC Adapter. (For 8 and 16 port type KVM Switches,
use AC Cables for connection.)
(2) Press the [AutoScan] switch on the front panel for ten or more seconds.
The LED (port 1) on the control panel blinks blue for the first five seconds that the switch
is pushed.
For the next five seconds, the LED (port 1) on the control panel blinks orange.
(3) After the [AutoScan] switch is pressed for 10 seconds, "Port 1 Fixed Mode" is set and
the LED (port 1) on the front panel blinks blue.
After ten seconds have elapsed, the state returns to the state before the settings were
performed. The set mode is retained even when the power of the KVM Switch is turned
OFF.
To return from "Port 1 Fixed Mode" to "Normal Mode", perform steps (1) to (3) that are
listed above.
The LED (port 4) on the control panel blinks blue when "Normal Mode" is set. (For an 8
Port KVM Switch, the LED of port 8 blinks blue. For a 16 Port KVM Switch, the LED of
port 16 blinks blue.)
