96
AlterPath OnSite Administrator’s and User’s Guide
The procedures for navigating among KVM ports are the same whether
you connected to the port through the OSD or the Web Manager. See
Table 2-9, “Common Procedures While Connected to KVM Ports,” on
page 94 for procedures.
T To Select a Server From the Connection
Menu
This procedure assumes you have accessed the Connection Menu screen,
either through the OSD or through entering the hot key in an AlterPath
Viewer. See “To Log Into a Server Connected to a KVM Port” on page 95 for
more details.
1. To select a KVM port, do one of the following:
• Type the first letters of the port name until the desired port is
highlighted in the port selection field.
Note: The port name field is case-sensitive.
OR
• Select the desired port name from the list.
2. Click “Enter.”
If no other user is connected to the port, the connected server’s login
prompt or a login dialog box appears, unless you have a previous login
session in effect.
See Table 2-9, “Common Procedures While Connected to KVM Ports,”
on page 94 for a list of procedures that can be performed while connected
to a device.
T To Return to Previous Menus or to Exit
This procedure assumes you have connected to a KVM port either through the
OSD or through entering the hot key in an AlterPath Viewer.
• Enter the quit hot key (default is Ctrl+k q), select the “Exit” option
from the current menu (if that option is available), or press the Esc key.
