settings of the KVM switch, and allows you to configure settings
related to the KVM’s dual power supplies and temperature sensors.
The following table describes the contents of the Device Information page.

characters max). By default, the device name is the model name of the KVM.

table below.

Force All to Grayscale When this checkbox is checked, all of the accounts in the installation will be forced to view the remote video in black and white. This can
help improve keyboard and mouse response time on slower networks.
