GLOSSARY

The following definitions are used throughout the 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 (0–15, set by the DIP switch).
Console: The all-in-one term for the keyboard, video monitor, and mouse connected
to a KVM switch.
Console Port: Receptors for the console to connect to the KVM switch.
Control: When discussing switching between ports, control means that the console is
capable of sending input to the computer. Control requires that the console also has
focus on the port, and is viewing it.
Console Switch: A KVM switch set to BANK address 0–1, with a console attached.
CPU: The markings on the KVM case that indicate the port numbers where each
computer cable is connected to the KVM switch.
Daisy-Chain: A configuration of multiple KVM switches that are connected one to
another in a series; a Belkin KVM daisy-chain uses common settings to allow seamless,
complex interactions between multiple consoles for control over many computers.
Focus: This term is used in two distinct ways:
1. In the OSD, the focus is represented by a dashed gray line around the control.
The focus determines which control will be activated by pressing the space
bar or the Enter key; if the focus is on a button, or inside an edit box,
pressing Enter will activate that control, whereas if the focus is on another
control (e.g. the list box), the Enter key will activate the default control
(Close or Exit).
2. When discussing switching between ports, focus refers to the act of targeting
a particular port.
HID: Human Interface Device, the USB device class that includes keyboards and mice.
KVM: Keyboard Video Mouse switch.
Port: An interface receptor on a computer through which you can attach a device or
plug in a device cable.
Primary Switch: A KVM switch set to BANK address 0-1 only with a console attached.
Secondary Switch: Any KVM switch without a console.
Select Mode: The mode of operation a daisy-chained KVM switch, in Static Mode,
enters when the first front-panel button is pressed. Select Mode allows the user to
select BANKs, hosts, etc. with the next button press.
