Lockout Macro
This feature is configurable on each KVM port. It allows the KVM connected servers to automatically switch to locked state when the AlterPath Viewer is closed or an idle time-out occurs.
In addition, when a user tries to access a KVM connected server with a full or read-write permission, the lockout macro command is sent to the server to lock the current user and display the new login window.
Note: A lockout macro will not transmit if the connection is read-only.
If a user switches between two KVM connected server, the lockout macro does not lock out the user, unless in the meantime another user has taken over a session.
The lockout macro is user-programmable. The following table shows the defualt key sequences on major operating systems.
