Chapter 7: KX III Local Console - KX III End User Help266Local Console Video ResolutionsOnce a monitor is connected to the KX III Local Console, KX III detectsthe native resolution of the monitor. This is typically the largest resolutionsupported by the monitor.As long as the monitor's native resolution is supported by the LocalConsole, KX III uses that resolution.If the native resolution is not supported by the Local Console, and noother resolution is supported by the monitor and Local Console, KX IIIuses the resolution of the last monitor that was connected to the LocalConsole.For example, you connect a monitor set to a resolution of1600x1200@60Hz to the KX III Local Console. KX III uses that resolutionsince it is supported by the Local Console.If the next monitor you connect to the Local Console is not set to asupported resolution, KX III uses the resolution of 1024x768@60.For a list of supported Local Console video resolutions, see SupportedKX III Local Port DVI Resolutions (on page 302).Considering also reviewing Video Mode and Resolution Notes (onpage 331) for additional information.Simultaneous UsersThe KX III Local Console provides an independent access path to theconnected KVM target servers.Using the Local Console does not prevent other users fromsimultaneously connecting over the network. And even when remoteusers are connected to the KX III, you can still simultaneously accessyour servers from the rack via the Local Console.Hot Keys and Connect KeysBecause the KX III Local Console interface is completely replaced by theinterface for the target server you are accessing, a hot key is used todisconnect from a target and return to the local port GUI.A connect key is used to connect to a target or switch between targets.The Local Port hot key allows you to rapidly access the KX III LocalConsole user interface when a target server is currently being viewed.See Configuring KX III Local Console Local Port Settings for moreinformation.
