Conventions
This manual uses the following conventions:
Terminology
Throughout the manual we make reference to the terms Local and Remote in
regard to the equipment used in a KVM Over the NET
TM
switch installation.
 By Local, we mean the place where the user is operating from – whether
he is connecting to the switch from the Local Console right next to the
switch, or from a Local Client login located half-way around the world.
 By Remote, we mean the equipment that connects to the switch via the
Adapter Cables – as in “remote servers.”
Monospaced Indicates text that you should key in.
[ ] Indicates keys you should press. For example, [Enter] means
to press the Enter key. If keys need to be chorded, they appear
together in the same bracket with a plus sign between them:
[Ctrl+Alt].
1. Numbered lists represent procedures with sequential steps.
♦ Bullet lists provide information, but do not involve sequential
steps.

example), that comes next. For example, Start
→ Run means
to open the Start menu, and then select Run.
