20 Coaxial Analog KVM Switch/Coaxial Analog KVM Console Extender
Operation—Coaxial Analog KVM Console
Extender
The Coaxial Analog KVM Console Extender provides remote access to the
Coaxial Analog KVM Switch. Control of the Coaxial Analog KVM Switch is
shared serially; only one station can provide input at a time. The Local and
Remote consoles can monitor output simultaneously, unless the Disable
Remote option of the Coaxial Analog KVM Switch is activated.
The Local and Remote LEDs on the Coaxial Analog KVM Switch cycle back
and forth alternatively when no activity is occurring on either console. When
the user begins to type on the keyboard, or moves the mouse, the LED for that
station will turn on to indicate which console (Local or Remote) has control.
The other station will be locked out while the activity continues, although both
consoles may continue to monitor the activity. When the user stops all activity
for a period of approximately 5 seconds, the LEDs again begin to cycle and
either station can take control.
Note: Two LEDs on the Coaxial Analog KVM Console Extender
indicate operating status:
•When the Power LED is on and not blinking, the local connection
is active.
•When the Link LED is on, the remote console is active.
See “Port LEDs” on page 18 for more information about the LEDs.
For security purposes, the remote console can be disabled. This prevents the
remote console (the Coaxial Analog KVM Console Extender) from accessing
the Coaxial Analog KVM Switch or any of the equipment attached to it. To
disable the remote console, press the Disable Remote button on the Coaxial
Analog KVM Switch. The Remote LED of the Coaxial Analog KVM Switch
will turn off when remote access is disabled. To re-enable the remote console,
press the Disable Remote button again; the Remote LED will begin to cycle on
and off again, alternating with the Local LED, when remote access is enabled.
Note: The Remote console cannot disable the Local console,
because only the local user has access to the Disable Remote button.
See “Operation—Coaxial Analog KVM Switch” on page 12 for
information about accessing the ports of the Coaxial Analog KVM
Switch.
