Glossary

The following definitions are used throughout this User Manual.
AutoScan: A mode of operation where the KVM switch scans from one port to
another, on an ongoing basis, as configured by the user.
BANK: The address of a daisy-chained KVM switch (00–15), set by the DIP switch.
Console: The all-in-one term for a monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected to a
KVM switch. In this manual, "Console" is also used to refer to the OmniView PRO2
Rack Console with KVM Switch.
Control: When discussing switching between ports, control means that the
console is capable of sending input to the server. Control requires that the console
also has focus on the port, and is viewing it.
Daisy-Chain: A configuration of multiple KVM switches that are connected one
to another in a series. A KVM-switch daisy-chain uses common settings to allow
seamless, complex interactions between multiple consoles for control over many
servers.
KVM: Literally "Keyboard Video Mouse", this term refers to technology that
allows two or more computers to be controlled by one keyboard, video monitor,
and mouse; some switches that use KVM technology enable sharing of other
peripherals such as audio speakers, microphones, and printers.
KVM Switch: A device that allows a user to access and control multiple servers
from a single console. It has at least one console port and multiple server ports.
OSD: On-Screen Display, a graphical user interface that can be used to control
and configure the KVM switch.
Port: An interface receptor on a server through which you can attach a device or
plug in a device cable.
Primary KVM Switch: The KVM switch that is connected to the console and is
set to BANK address 00. If the OmniView PRO2 Rack Console with KVM Switch is
used in a daisy-chain configuration, it will be the primary KVM switch.
Secondary KVM Switch: Any KVM switch that is daisy-chained to the primary
KVM switch and is set to BANK address 01–15 (and has no console connected).
