ULTRAVIEW REMOTE 2 INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

Host Tab
The “Host” tab on the toolbar allows you to easily switch to
any CPU port on the unit or system. Each of the 128 Host
locations can be set-up with the appropriate keyboard
command to switch to that port. These keyboard
commands are set-up from the “Configure, Host” tab. Using
the Hosts tab method to switch between host computers
assures that the screen calibration details for each host are
reused. The alternative is to use KVM switch hotkey
combinations (Ctrl + n enter) or the KVM switch on screen
display (Ctrl + Esc). You must be logged on as
administrator to configure the host parameters.
To configure the Hosts feature, click on the “Configure” tab in the upper right corner of the viewer window. This will
display the configuration options. Select “Host” from the option tabs and the Host configuration window will display
as shown in Figure 18.
1. Select (highlight) the Host slot to configure and the Host Configuration box will display.
2. Enter the name for this position (Example: Computer 6). Enter the user names that will be given access to this
host location. An * allows all users access or a list of users separated by commas (e.g. admin,nigel,andy,steve).
3. Enter the Hotkey / KVM port keyboard command sequence to switch to the CPU port (+-ctrl+-6+enter) for
locations 10 or greater like port 15, the command sequence would be +-ctrl+-1+-5+enter).
When all needed host switching commands have been entered. Save the Host Configuration and also save the Host
menu information. Once saved, you will return to the configuration menu. From the Configuration menu, return to
the Host and click on the Hosts button on the viewer toolbar. The defined hosts will display in the dropdown menu.
Click on any Host name and you will be immediately switched to that CPU port. The Host configuration feature can
also be used to send any keyboard command sequence to the KVM switch module. It is recommended that only
commands to switch to a CPU port are used. You can set-up a host location to display the KVM switch module’s
OSD menu (+-Ctrl+-F12+Enter) but it is best to use the “Command, Keyboard” function for these types of commands.
