Setting Console Security
OSCAR enables you to congure security settings on the iKVM console. You can setup a screen saver mode that engages after the console
remains unused for a specied delay time. Once engaged, the console remains locked until you press any key or move the mouse. Enter the
screen saver password to continue.
Use the Security dialog box to lock the console with a password, set or change the password, or enable the screen saver.
NOTE: If the iKVM password is lost or forgotten, you can reset it to the iKVM factory default using the CMC Web interface or
RACADM.
