This Panel Menu item contains several secondary pages. To modify the information on these pages, move through them sequentially clicking the arrow icons at the left of the main panel in the grey bar, or go directly to a page by moving the curser over the menu and selecting the page from the menu that opens.

Note: The Device Configuration Panel Menu does not appear if the device is offline.

The secondary Panel Menu pages correspond to the administration functions described in the device's User Manual. For configuring the settings, refer to the Device Management sections to obtain the necessary information. When you have finished making your configuration settings, click Save.

Note: 1. On KVM ACCESS's secondary Panel Menu ANMS settings page, in addition to the entry labeled Preferred Server Settings, there is an entry called Alternate Server Settings. The Preferred settings correspond to the ANMS settings on the device (see Device ANMS Settings, page 172) Changes to this setting take place on the device.

2. On KVM ACCESS' secondary Panel Menu Customization settings page, there is an entry called Port timeout. This field sets a time threshold for users on ports whose Access Mode has been set to Occupy (see “Mode” on page 68). This corresponds to the Access Mode setting on the original device. If there is no activity from the user occupying the port for the amount of time set here, the user is timed out and the port is released. The first user to send keyboard or mouse input after the port has been released gets to occupy the port. Input a value from 0 to 255 seconds. The default is 3 seconds. A setting of 0 causes the port to be released the instant there is no input.

Heading Meaning

Port Name This is the name given to the port.

OS Specifies the operating system that the computer on the connected port is using. Language Specifies the OS language being used by the computer on the connected port.

Mode Corresponds to the Access Mode setting on the original device (Share, Occupy, Exclusive). It defines how the port is accessed when multiple users have logged on.

Exclusive: The first user to switch to the port has exclusive control over the port. No other users can view the port. The Timeout function does not apply to ports which have this setting.

Occupy: The first user to switch to the port has control over the port. However, additional users may view the port's video display. If the user who controls the port is inactive for longer than the time set in the Timeout box, port control is transferred to the next user to move the mouse or strike the keyboard.

Share: Users simultaneously share control over the port. Input from the users is placed in a queue and executed chronologically.
