9.2 KVM switches
Configuring KVM switches is relevant when there are KVM switches connected to
IP devices in the system or when there are DXU IP II units in the system. You must
select all the KVM switch types physically connected.
To select the KVM switch types:
1. From the Application menu, select KVM Switches. A list of KVM switches
appears, see Figure 44. The columns show the following:
• Model - KVM switch model
• Manufacturer - KVM switch manufacturer
• Ports - The number of server ports
• Power Enabled - Power enabled status. Where the KVM switch is
connected to a power management device such as a Minicom Remote Power
Switch or Power on Cable, the status of this column is yes meaning it is
power enabled. No means it is not enabled.
• Matrix – The number of simultaneous users this switch supports. Note!
Where you know a KVM switch has matrix capabilities, but no number
appears in the Matrix column, contact the Minicom Support team to obtain
the updated SDF of the KVM switch. Uploading the SDF is explained in
section 9.2.1 below.
