OSD Operation (continued)

Port Naming

For convenience, especially in large installations with many KVM

switches and ports, each port can be given a unique name. To assign,

modify or delete a port name, follow the instructions below. Note:

Administrators and Users must be given conﬁguration access to a

KVM or computer port to be able to edit the port name. (See Device

Assignment section under User Management in OSD Operation for

details.)

1. Click once on the port you want to edit to highlight it, wait one

second and click on it again. Note: This is not a double-click; it

involves two separate clicks. Double-clicking will switch you to the

device attached to the port.

After a second or two, the display changes to provide a text input box.

2. Key in a name for the port (or change/delete a previous one). The

maximum number of characters allowed for a port name is 20. You

can use any combination of letters, numbers, and symbols on the

typewriter keys of keyboards with PC US English layout.

3. When you have ﬁnished editing the port name, press [Enter] or

click anywhere outside of the input box to complete the operation.

switches. Click the Plus (+) in front of a switch to expand the tree

and see the ports underneath it. When in the non-browser OSD,

you can also right-click on a port and select an option to expand/

collapse it.

Note: In order for a cascaded B064-016 to show up as an

expandable KVM in the port list, you must use a PS/2 SIU to

cascade it from the ﬁrst-level KVM. If you use a USB SIU, it will be

displayed as an ordinary port, and you will have to use the B064-

016 OSD to access computers/servers connected to it.

Connections (continued)

Scan

The Scan function automatically switches among all the ports accessible

to the logged-on user at regular intervals, allowing their activity to be

monitored automatically. (See Auto Scanning section under Remote

Session Operation for details.) Note: The Scan icon will not appear when

accessing the KVM switch via web browser.

Panel Array Mode

Panel Array Mode also permits port activity to be monitored

automatically. The screen displays a grid of panels, each representing a

port on the installation. Only ports that are on line and user accessible

are displayed. Off-line or non-accessible ports are left blank. (See

Panel Array Mode section under The OSD Toolbar in Remote Session

Operation for details.) Note: The Array Mode icon will not appear when

accessing the KVM switch via Web browser..

Filter

Filter allows you to control which ports are displayed in the Port

Selection List, as well as which ports are scanned when Auto Scan

Mode is invoked. When you click Filter, the bottom of the panel

changes to look similar to the ﬁgure, below:

All – with no other ﬁlter options selected, lists all of the ports on the

installation.

ports that have their attached devices powered on.

the Device Level and port connection and conﬁguration options at the

Port Level.

Device Level

When a KVM switch is selected in the Sidebar tree, the Connections

sub-section will display a list of the ports that are accessible to the

logged-on user.
