Monitor-DDC2 Feature This feature allows the console monitor to send information to the server's video card about its properties, such as maximum resolution and color depth supported. The video card will then adjust the monitor's settings accordingly. This enables your monitor to use its optimal settings for every server connected to your Switch. To read the DDC2 information from the monitor and program it to all connected Server Interface Modules, press "F10". Every time you change the monitor, you will need to press "F10" again to program the new DDC information to the Server Interface Modules. We recommend you perform this operation on a local console only. 65

Using the Switch from a Remote Console
Hot Key
This allows you to select which key will be used to initiate hot-key commands.
You have four options to choose from: “Scroll Lock”, “Print Screen”, “Ctrl”,
and “F12”. The default key for all hot-key commands is “Scroll Lock” (see
“Hot-Key-Command Shortcuts” on next page). To designate a different key
to initiate hot-key commands, use the arrow keys to navigate to the Hot-Key
field, press the space bar until the preferred key is found, and press “Enter” to
save the entry.
Note:
If you change the hot key to “Print Screen”, “Ctrl”, or “F12”, you will
need to upload a new switch-definition file (SDF) to change servers from a
remote session. See page 37 for more details.
Timeout
This specifies the amount of time that can elapse before the administrator
will be locked out of the KVM Switch (and connected servers) due to user
inactivity. To regain access to the KVM Switch after timeout, simply reenter
the admin password in the login box. The Timeout feature is only available if
the Security feature is enabled. You may set the time intervals to anywhere
between 1 and 99 minutes. To change the time interval, use the arrow keys to
navigate, type the desired time interval, and press “Enter” to save the entry.
If you disable the Security feature, the Timeout feature will be turned
off automatically.
Note:
If there are secondary KVM Switches connected, and the AutoScan
time and timeout settings are set on the primary KVM Switch, the settings will
also apply to all secondary KVM Switches.
Monitor-DDC2 Feature
This feature allows the console monitor to send information to the server’s
video card about its properties, such as maximum resolution and color depth
supported. The video card will then adjust the monitor’s settings accordingly.
This enables your monitor to use its optimal settings for every server
connected to your Switch. To read the DDC2 information from the monitor and
program it to all connected Server Interface Modules, press “F10”. Every time
you change the monitor, you will need to press “F10” again to program the
new DDC information to the Server Interface Modules. We recommend you
perform this operation on a local console only.
