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:

Press <Print Screen> to open the OSCAR

Main

dialog box.
