Feature Overview
• Hot Keys
Hot-key functionality allows you to select a desired port using designated key
commands. By using a simple hot-key sequence on your keyboard, you can
select one server from as many as 256 servers, instantaneously.
• AutoScan
The AutoScan feature allows you to set your LCD Rack Console to scan
and monitor the activities of all connected servers, one by one. The time
interval allotted for each server can be adjusted through the On-Screen
Display (OSD) menu.
• Video Resolution
The LCD Rack Console supports video resolutions of up to 1280x1024@65Hz.
• Security
Allows you to specify user names and passwords to prevent unauthorized
users from accessing the OSD and KVM Switch.
• Dedicated Daisy-Chain Port
Up to 16 KVM switches can be daisy-chained together using dedicated
ports, so you can easily expand your KVM configuration as your server
environment grows.
• On-Screen Display (OSD)
The OSD feature simplifies server management by allowing you to assign
individual names to each connected server throughout the system. It provides
a visual means of switching between servers and assigning the hot-key
scheme. The OSD can also be set up to support regional languages.
• Flash Upgrade
Flash-upgradeable firmware allows you to install the latest firmware on your
LCD Rack Console. This enables your KVM Switch to maintain consistent
compatibility with the latest devices and servers. Firmware upgrades are free
