Changing the standard mode of the Service port
The Service port of the KVM switch can be used both for operating the setup menu
and for switching the channels with a serial device.
The Setup Menu mode is enabled in the default settings of the KVM switch. In this
mode, the Setup Menu is immediately displayed in the terminal emulator after a ses-
sion is established with the KVM switch.
If you primarily use the Service port for switching the active channel via a serial device,
it is recommendable to enable the Switch mode.
