Figure 62. Host Configuration Screen
Name:
Enter an identifying name for the computer, to be displayed in the Hosts list and in the Hosts menu on the VNC
Viewer Toolbar.
Users:
Enter a user name or a list of user names to be allowed access to the computer. Separate multiple user names
with commas. An asterisk in this field means all users are allowed access (the default setting).
KVM Switch Macro:
Enter the keystrokes required by the KVM switch to cause it to connect to this computer. This is usually a
sequence of keystrokes and a number, sometimes followed by enter. On the KVM-4TDDL/A1, the keystroke
combination is Ctrl+Alt+<port number>. Entering the macro follows the same format and rules as specified in
the Keyboard Control portion of the VNC Viewer Toolbar described in the Operation section of this manual.
The abbreviations for keystrokes recognized by the UL2-DVI are listed in Appendix C. If the computer is on a
cascaded KVM switch, this field should contain the entire sequence required to switch to the cascaded port.
If the KVM switch or all the KVM switches used in a cascade are the KVM-4TDDL/A1, a shortcut can be used
to specify the switching commands. This is because the UL2-DVI recognizes Ctr+Alt as the switching
command for the KVM-4TDDL/A1, and needs only the port number to perform the operation. In this case, the
switch port number to be connected should be entered in square brackets. For example, to switch to KVM port
3, the KVM Switch Macro field should be [03]. The UL2-DVI translates this to Ctrl+Alt+3. If two switches are
cascaded, and it is required to switch to KVM port 4 on the second switch which is on KVM port 2 of the first
switch, the field entry should be [0204].
 KVM Switch Macro entries are not case sensitive.
 It is not necessary to specify all keys to be released at the end because they are all released
automatically after the last key.
 Some KVM switches use hot key sequences that begin with a press/release of either the Scroll Lock or
Ctrl keys. These often require a delay between the initial key press and the port number to allow the
switch to respond. A 500ms delay is usually sufficient. To send the command Scroll lock 1 + Enter (with
a 500ms delay) you should use the following: +–Scr*500+1+Ent.
