6. KVM Operation
(

)
6.6.2 The OSD Toolbar
Bus Info – The KVM Switch allows multiple users to access the
connected computers simultaneously, with each user accessing one
bus. In addition, multiple users can log onto the same bus at the
same time, and share a remote session. The amount of buses is
the same as the total number of simultaneous users. For example,
a B020-U16-IP allows 2 users (1 remote, 1 local) to simultaneously
access connected computers, therefore has 2 buses. When 2 users
are logged on at the same time, each would be accessing the KVM on
a separate bus. When a third user logs on, they are logged on to the
first bus, which they are sharing with the first logged on user.
When the Bus Info checkbox in the Customize Control Panel screen is
checked, the bus (channel) being accessed and the number of users
on that bus (channel) is displayed in the control panel text bar. For
example, C1/2 would signify that you are accessing the connected
computers on bus (channel) 1, and there are 2 users currently
accessing bus (channel) 1 at the same time.
Snapshot – The Snapshot section allows you to determine where
snapshots are sent to, what file type they are saved as; and, if saved
as a JPEG, the quality of the JPEG image. Although the Snapshot
section is available to both Windows and Java users, the two differ in
the types of files that can be saved. The Windows clients allow you
to choose between a BMP and a JPEG file, whereas the Java clients
allow you to choose between PNG and JPEG.
• Path – To select a location for snapshots to be saved in, click on
the Browse button next to the Path field. Navigate to the desired
location and select it.
• Format – Check the button of the file type that you want the
snapshot to be saved in.
• JPEG Quality – If you select to save snapshots as JPEGs, you can
adjust the quality of the JPEG image here. The higher the quality of
the image, the larger the file size.
Keyboard Pass Through – When selected, the [Alt, Tab] function will
be sent to the remote computer. When it is not selected, the [Alt, Tab]
function is sent to the local computer. It is deactivated by default.
Exit – Click this icon to exit the remote session.
Lock LEDs – These icons display the status of the keyboard
Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs. You can click on
them to toggle the corresponding lock function on/off. When
first initiating a remote session, you may have to toggle these
off/on to make sure they are synced up with your keyboard.
The OSD provides a toolbar to help you control the B020-Series KVM Switch from within the captured port. There are three hotkey combinations
that can be used to pull up the OSD Toolbar and/or OSD when in a remote session:
• When in a remote session, hit the hotkey [Scroll Lock] twice to open the OSD Toolbar.
• When in a remote session, hit the hotkey [Scroll Lock] three times to open the OSD.
• When the OSD Toolbar is opened in a remote session, hit the hotkey [Scroll Lock] once to open the OSD.
The OSD Toolbar is shown below:
Depending on the settings that were selected for ID Display, the Port Number and/or the Port Name display at the right of the toolbar.
Note: When the toolbar displays, mouse input is confined to the toolbar area and keyboard input (other than the Scroll Lock/Control hotkey) has
no effect.
The meanings of the toolbar icons are given in the table below:
Icon Description
Click to skip to the first accessible port on the entire installation without having to invoke the OSD.
Click to skip to the first accessible port previous to the current one without having to invoke the OSD.
Click to begin Auto Scan Mode. The B020-Series KVM Switch automatically switches among the ports that were selected for Auto Scanning in the Port
Select and Filter functions. This allows you to monitor their activity without having to switch among them manually.
Click to skip from the current port to the next accessible one without having to invoke the OSD.
Click to skip from the current port to the last accessible port on the installation without having to invoke the OSD.
Click to bring up the OSD.
Click to close the OSD toolbar.
Click to invoke Panel Array Mode. (See Panel Array Mode section under The OSD Toolbar for details.)
As the length of Cat5 cable between the KVM and connected computer can affect video quality, this setting is designed to compensate for shorter or
longer lengths. Click to toggle through the Cat5 cable length options; Short (Less than 32 ft. / 10 m), Medium (Between 32 ft. / 10 m and 82 ft. / 25 m)
and Long (Over 82 ft. / 25 m).
