Video Connections
The iKVM has video connections on the front and rear panels of the chassis.
The front panel connection signals take precedence over that of the rear
panel. When a monitor is connected to the front panel, the video connection
does not pass through to the rear panel, and an OSCAR message displays
stating that the rear panel KVM and ACI connections are disabled. If the
monitor is disabled (that is, removed from the front panel or disabled by a
CMC command), the ACI connection becomes active while the rear panel
KVM remains disabled. (For information about order of connection
precedence, see "iKVM Connection Precedences.")
For information about enabling or disabling the front panel connection, see
"Enabling or Disabling the Front Panel."
