this option applies the selected encryption mode to both KVM and

140-2 Mode by selecting the Enable FIPS 140-2 checkbox. See

enabling up to eight remote users to simultaneously log into one KSX
II and concurrently view and control the same target server through
the device. Click the drop-down list to select one of the following
options:
Private - No PC share. This is the default mode. Each target
server can be accessed exclusively by only one user at a time.
PC-Share - KVM target servers can be accessed by up to eight
users (administrator or non-administrator) at one time. Each
remote user has equal keyboard and mouse control, however,
note that uneven control will occur if one user does not stop
typing or moving the mouse.
5. If needed, select VM Share Mode. This option is enabled only when
PC-Share mode is enabled. When selected, this option permits the
sharing of virtual media among multiple users, that is, several users
can access the same virtual media session. The default is disabled.
6. If needed, select Local Device Reset Mode. This option specifies
which actions are taken when the hardware Reset button (at the
