Managing KVM console switches Manage Console Switch window overview for KVM console switches After you have installed a new KVM console switch, you can view and configure unit parameters, view and control currently active video sessions, and execute a variety of control functions, such as rebooting and upgrading your KVM console switch. The Manage Console Switch window consists of three tabs: • Settings tab for KVM console switches ("Viewing and configuring parameters through the Settings tab" on page 36) • Status tab for KVM console switches ("Viewing the Status tab" on page 68) • Tools tab for KVM console switches ("Using the Tools tab" on page 69) Some operations that you initiate through the Manage Console Switch window can cause a dialog box to appear, indicating that a reboot is required for the change to take effect. In such cases, you can choose to reboot immediately or wait to reboot later. NOTE: References to the local user refer to an OSD user connected to the console switch. For more information about the KVM console switch and its operations, see the documentation included with the KVM console switch. Viewing and configuring parameters through the Settings tab The Settings tab enables you to display an expandable list of categories covering a wide range of parameters for the console switch. When a category is selected, the parameters associated with that category are read from the console switch, the database, or both. You can modify those parameters and send changes securely back to the console switch through the SMP. Configuring global parameters The Global category enables you to view the Product Type, Serial Number (EID), and the Language settings for the console switch. Managing KVM console switches 36
