If it's anything like the 15FP, hit the Print Screen button and you'll get a menu to select from. Bart

The 71PXP is a rebranded Avocent OutLook 180ES you can download the manual from http://www.avocent.com/web/en.nsf/AttachmentsByTitle/590-203-001A%28web%29.pdf/$FILE/590-203-001A%28web%29.pdf.

Hi, sorry to hijack this thread, but can anyone give me any idea of the 15fp's switching capabilities please?   To change between servers does it actually have a kvm switch built in? If so, how many ports?   Also, how do you change between servers? Do you need to load any software for this to work or is it all hardware based (like a usual kvm switch)?   Thanks for any help guys.

I'm using the 15FP. The one I have does not have the KVM built in. There is a separate small box that goes in your rack. The one I have is 8 ports.

It's all hardware - no software to install. Just hook everything up and then hit the Print Screen button to bring up a menu. It's kind of crude, but you can use a mouse and adjust settings like the opacity of the ID menu, the names of the machines, etc.
