Figure 2-3. KVM Switch Tiered from an Analog KVM Switch
Before connecting your KVM Switch to a supported analog switch, you must ensure that it has
been set to display in Slot order and that the
Screen Delay Time
is set to 1 or more seconds. Once
in Slot order, it is possible to also set a
Screen Delay
Time
that allows you to soft switch to a server
without launching OSCAR.
NOTE: Soft switching allows you to switch servers using a hot key sequence. You can soft switch to a
server by pressing <Print Screen> and then typing the first few characters of its name or number. If you
have a Delay Time set and you press the key sequences before that time has elapsed, OSCAR will not
display.
To configure the analog switch:
1
Press <Print Screen> to open the OSCAR
Main
dialog box.
