KVM-List mask switching
The KVM-List mask displays when you first initiate the OSD (Ctrl + Shift + o). In this mask, all CPU Ports are
displayed that are currently accessible to the current user at this console.
All constraints given by CPU Ports already connected to other consoles as well as access restrictions imposed by the
User Matrix or by the Console Matrix are considered. Constraints given by CPU Ports already connected may be
overwritten if “Allow Sharing“, “Force Connect“ and/or “Force Disconnect“ have been selected.
