Controlling the OSD Through the AlterPath KVM RP

428  

While using the AlterPath KVM RP, an administrator has full access to the 
OSD menus, so all local administration tasks can be performed in an office or 
at any other location up to 500 feet away from the KVM/net. In addition, you 
do not need a dedicated monitor, keyboard, and mouse to use the KVM RP; 
the KVM RP box allows you to use the monitor, keyboard, and mouse of your 
regular work station and use keyboard shortcuts to toggle between the view at 
your local work station and the view of the KVM/net.

See “Installing the AlterPath KVM RP” on page 129 for details on how to 
install an KVM RP. No configuration is required to begin using the KVM RP.
