Basic Operations

Controlling the switching system from the analog port

Use the rear panel ports to connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse for direct analog access. The KVM s3-1621 appliance uses the OSCAR interface for intuitive switching system configuration and target device selection. Switches can be identified by customizable names.

Starting the OSCAR interface

To view, configure, and control target devices in the switching system from the OSCAR interface via a KVM connection to the analog port, perform one of the following actions:

• Press Print Screen to start the OSCAR interface.
• Press the Control, Alt, or Shift key twice within 1 second to start the OSCAR interface.

Key sequences can be used instead of pressing Print Screen. To specify which key sequences start the OSCAR interface, click Setup - Menu.

The illustration shows an example of the OSCAR Main window.
