The AlterPath Viewer is the interface you use to manage servers over KVM over IP connections. Logins persist across connection sessions. If you close a connection without logging out, you are still logged in the next time you connect, unless the system has closed your session. If you are not currently logged in, you see a login screen or prompt.The connected servers’s login prompt appears. The following example shows a login prompt for a Windows 2000 server displayed by the AlterPath Viewer. If you are connected to a Linux server without a graphical display, you see a “Login:” prompt.See AlterPath Viewer Settings for more detailed information about using the AlterPath Viewer.Local KVM connections through the OSD do not use the AlterPath Viewer. Instead, the view of the connected server takes up the entire screen of local work station. See Controlling KVM Port Connections for more information on local KVM connections.
