Operation Mode Attributes
The following table lists the options for setting a port’s operation mode:
Restoring KVM Port Defaults
Clicking the Restore Defaults button at the bottom of the Port Select Webpage
restores KVM port defaults. When restoring KVM port defaults, port access
rights are revoked for users and groups, port notes and personal view shortcuts
are removed, and the Port Operating System and Port Language settings are
restored to the original factory default settings (Factory Default Settings,
page 130).
In cascaded installations, you can restore KVM port defaults for up to 2 levels
of KVM switches at a time. If you want to restore KVM port defaults for more
than two levels of KVM switches, repeat this procedure for each third-level
KVM switch for which you wish to restore KVM port defaults. KVM port
defaults will be restored for any fourth-level KVM switches at the same time.
In daisy-chained installations, you can restore KVM port defaults one station
at a time.
To restore KVM port defaults:
1. If you are not logged in to the KM0832 Administrator Utility, open the
KM0832 Login page and log in. The KM0832 Administrator Utility Main
Screen will appear.
2. In the tree view, click on the station for which you want to restore KVM
port defaults to select it.
3. From the Administration menu, choose Port Management. The Port
Select Webpage for that station appears.
4. Click Restore Defaults. The KVM port defaults are restored for the
selected station (and one additional level of cascaded KVM switches, if
applicable).
Attribute Action
Exclusive The first user to occupy the port has exclusive control over it. No
other user can view or access it.
Occupy The first user to occupy the port has control over it. A second user
can view its video output, however. The Occupy Timeout function,
discussed above, applies to ports that have this setting.
Share Allows all users connected to the first-level switch’s consoles to
simultaneously share keyboard and mouse control over a first-level
port. User input is placed in a queue and executed sequentially.
This is the default operation mode for all first-level ports.
Note: KVM ports on cascaded switches cannot be shared.
