USING YOUR SWITCH
Mouse Column
The mouse column displays the status of the current mouse connection, and is
updated in real time. If the connection to the computer is via a PS/2 cable, a small
mouse icon is displayed. If the mouse connection to the computer is via USB, the
USB trident symbol is displayed. If no mouse is detected, the cell will be empty.
Security Column
The security column displays the security settings for the current user. If this user is
restricted from accessing a computer, a closed padlock symbol is displayed. If the
user is allowed to access the computer, the cell is empty.
Note: The KVM administrator can prevent computers from appearing in the Main View if
the user doesn't have rights to access them (for additional information, see the
Options page, on page 30).
Console Column
The console currently viewing the computer is indicated in this column by its
corresponding letter (A–D). If multiple consoles are focused on the same computer,
an asterisk will appear in the console cell.
AutoScan Button
Click the AutoScan button or press "ALT + A" on the keyboard to toggle the AutoScan
feature. This will not close IntelliView.
Setup Button
Click the "Setup" button or press "ALT + S" on the keyboard to access the IntelliView
Setup pages. If the user is not logged in as Admin, the Setup button will not be
selectable (grayed-out).
Logout Button
Click on the "Logout" button or press "ALT + T" on the keyboard to return to
guest-level access. If the administrator has removed guest access, then when the
user logs out, they lose focus on the port. All hot keys and the front panel will be
disabled, with the exception of opening IntelliView, which will present the user with
the login dialog.

USING YOUR SWITCH
The Setup Page
The Setup page is only available to the Admin user and is used to set the group name,
computer name, and computer scan times. The scan time is dependent on the port
being scanned, and is global (i.e. it's independent of the console or user). While scan
times are independent of the user, AutoScan will skip computers that the user does not
have permission to view.
Group Column
The Group column displays the name of the group to which the computer has been
assigned. The group name is arbitrary text, purely for organizational purposes. The
group name can be up to eight characters and is assigned by the KVM administrator.
The default group name of a computer is "Group X" where X is the BANK number of a
Switch as determined by the BANK address DIP switch. To change the group name,
click in the desired cell.
Computer Name Column
The Computer Name column displays the name of each connected computer. The
computer name can be up to 15 characters and is assigned by the KVM administrator.
The computer list can be sorted on this field by clicking on the column header. By
default, all computer names will be named BANK XX-Port YY. Where XX is a two-digit
BANK address number from 00 to 15 and YY is a two-digit computer number from 01 to
16. To input the computer name, click in the desired cell.
ID Column
This column displays the BANK and port number of the Switch where the computer is
connected. The computer list can be sorted on this field by left-clicking the mouse on
the column header.
Scan Column
The Scan column displays the current setting for how long the console views each
computer during AutoScan. To change the viewing duration for a computer, click in the
desired cell.
