USING YOUR SWITCH
Display Banner
This check box enables a banner to be displayed for system events: pressing a
front-panel button, powering-on the Switch, etc. The banner is either always
displayed, or displayed for a configured time (1–99 seconds). If the timed selection
is enabled, the time input determines how long the banner will remain on-screen
after the system event occurs. See the "MultiView" section (on page 21) and the
"Banner" section (on page 33) for additional information on the operation and
content of the banner. The banner configurations are not global; they have to be set
independently for each console.
Display Inactive Ports
Enabling this feature will cause ports that do not have an active computer attached
to appear in the computer list box, on the Main page of IntelliView. By default,
inactive ports are displayed. The "Display Inactive Ports" feature is not global; it has
to be set independently for each console.
Display Restricted Ports
Enabling this feature will cause ports that the current user is restricted from
accessing to appear in the computer list box, on the Main page of IntelliView. By
default, restricted ports are displayed. The "Display Restricted Ports" feature is not
global; it has to be set independently for each console.
Alternate Attention Key
This screen allows you to select alternate keys to initiate hot key commands. It
provides compatibility with keyboards that do not feature the identical keys or that
may be using them to perform other functions. You may select any number of
Alternate Attention keys.
Note: If all options are deselected, Scroll Lock becomes the default Attention key.
Display Version Numbers
This screen displays product information, including the model number and the
firmware revisions. The "Display Version Numbers" feature is not global; it only
displays the version numbers for this BANK.
Note: When performing flash upgrades, you will have to upgrade each Switch or
Expander unit individually.

USING YOUR SWITCH
Advanced Button
Activating this button will take the user to the advanced option screen.
Disable Viewing
When "Disable Viewing" is checked, only another administrator may view channels
occupied by the administrator. This function will be active by default in IntelliView
by design. For security reasons, admin needs to disable this if need be.
Daisy-Chain this KVM
Checking this box allows Switches set to BANK 00 to communicate with other BANKs
in a daisy-chain configuration. This affects front-panel operations, and other
operational parameters. Whenever the state of this check box is changed, the
following message will be displayed, "This will reset the KVM to change this setting".
If the user selects "OK", the Switch will immediately reboot in the new
configuration. By default, Switches set to BANK 00 are configured as standalone (the
check box is cleared).
Steal Control of this Host
This feature allows the KVM administrator to take full control of a host that is
currently being used by other users.
Restore Factory Defaults
Selecting this button will reset ALL user-configurable settings (computer names,
group names, passwords, etc.) to their default values on all BANKs in the daisy-chain.
The user is presented with a confirmation screen before this action is applied.
Note: In a daisy-chain configuration, restoring factory default will cause unpredictable
behavior. To resolve this temporary issue, the administrator will have to go back into
the Options page, select the "Advanced" button, and check the "daisy-chain this KVM"
box after "Restoring Factory Defaults" for BANK 00 to function properly.
