The B064-Series KVM Switches are designed to allow multiple users to simultaneously access the connected computers/servers.

operation in the table that follows this section apply to all users that are on the same bus.
Note: We recommend that the user who starts Panel Array Mode set it to display at least four panels. Otherwise, it is possible that the other
users may only receive part of the picture.
Operation Rule for Multi-Users on the Same Bus
General Once a user invokes the OSD, no other user can invoke it until it has been closed by the initial user.
Auto Scan Mode If a user has invoked Auto Scan Mode, but the OSD has not been invoked, another user can interrupt Auto Scan Mode
by invoking the OSD.
Panel Array Mode • Once a user has invoked Panel Array Mode, all successive users automatically enter Panel Array Mode. Panel Array
Mode continues until the original user stops it. (Super Administrators and Administrators can override Panel Array
Mode)
• Only the user who starts Panel Array Mode can use the skip icons in the panel array toolbar.
• Only the user who starts Panel Array Mode can switch ports. Other users automatically switch to the ports that the
original user selects.
Note: If an individual user does not have access rights to the port that the original user switches to, he will not be able to
view the port.
• Individual users can increase or decrease the number of panels they wish to view in Panel Array Mode.
The Auto Scan function automatically switches among all accessible ports at regular intervals, so that the user can monitor their activity without
having to manually switch between ports. The ports that are accessed in Auto Scan mode can be further filtered via the Filter section of the Port
Access page. (See pages 25-28 for details)
The scan interval used during Auto Scan mode can be set in the User Settings menu. (See page 28 for details) The scan interval can be set from 1
to 255 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
Auto Scan Mode can be invoked when in the OSD or when in a remote session. When in the OSD, Auto Scan mode can be invoked by clicking on
the Auto Scan button in the lower-left corner of the Port Access section. When in a remote session, Auto Scan Mode can be invoked by opening
the OSD toolbar and tapping the A key. Once started, Auto Scan cycles through the ports in order, starting with the first accessible port on the
installation. During Auto Scan Mode, an S appears in front of the Port ID Display to indicate that the port is being accessed under Auto Scan
Mode.
Auto Scan Mode can be paused in order to keep the focus on a particular computer by pressing P during an Auto Scan. When paused, the S that
displays in front of the Port ID blinks On and Off. Pausing when you want to keep the focus on a particular computer can be more convenient
than exiting Auto Scan Mode because when you resume scanning, you start from where you left off. If you were to exit and then restart Auto
Scan Mode, the scanning would start over from the very first computer on the installation. To resume Auto Scan Mode after pausing, press any
key except [Esc] or the [Spacebar], which will exit Auto Scan Mode completely.
While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard functions are suspended. You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order to regain normal control
of the keyboard. To exit Auto Scan Mode press [Esc] or the [Spacebar].
