19 CHAPTER 3 Basic operations Controlling the switching system from the analog user ports The LCM2 appliance has USB keyboard and mouse ports on the rear panel that you can use to connect a USB or PS/2 keyboard and mouse for direct analog access. The appliance uses the OSCAR interface, which has menus to configure the switching system and select target devices. Starting the OSCAR interface You can view, configure, and control target devices in the switching system from the OSCAR interface from a KVM connection to either analog user port. To start the OSCAR interface, press Print Screen. Alternatively, you can press the Control, Alt, or Shift key twice within 1 second to start the OSCAR interface. You can use any of these key sequences instead of pressing Print Screen in any procedure in this document. To specify which key sequences can be used to start the OSCAR interface, click Setup > Menu. The following illustration is an example of the Main window of the OSCAR interface. Figure 3.1: Example of a Main window The Main window lists the target devices in the switching system. You can order the list by target device names, eID numbers, or port numbers by clicking the Name, eID, or Port button.

Basic operations
Controlling the switching system from the analog user ports
The LCM2 appliance has USB keyboard and mouse ports on the rear panel that you can use to
connect a USB or PS/2 keyboard and mouse for direct analog access. The appliance uses the
OSCAR interface, which has menus to configure the switching system and select target devices.
Starting the OSCAR interface
You can view, configure, and control target devices in the switching system from the OSCAR
interface from a KVM connection to either analog user port.
To start the OSCAR interface, press Print Screen. Alternatively, you can press the Control, Alt, or
Shift key twice within 1 second to start the OSCAR interface. You can use any of these key
sequences instead of pressing Print Screen in any procedure in this document. To specify which key
sequences can be used to start the OSCAR interface, click
Setup > Menu
.
The following illustration is an example of the Main window of the OSCAR interface.
Figure 3.1: Example of a Main window
The Main window lists the target devices in the switching system. You can order the list by target
device names, eID numbers, or port numbers by clicking the
