7. OSD (On-Screen Display) Operation

7.1 OSD Overview

The On-Screen Display (OSD) is a text-based interface that allows for control and administration of the KVM switch. When logging onto the KVM switch, the OSD Main Menu is the first screen you will see after entering your username and password.

7.2 Logging In For The First Time

The KVM switch features a two-level security, with one Administrator and four User accounts. If you are an Administrator accessing the KVM switch for the first time, leave the username and password field blank and hit the [Enter] key twice to access the OSD Main Menu. Once logged into the KVM switch as Administrator, you will be able to access all OSD features and customize KVM settings. At this point, it is highly recommended that you change the Administrator username and password.

7.3 OSD Invocation Sequence

Once logged into the KVM switch, you will need to use one of two sequences to open the OSD Main Menu; [Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock] or [Ctrl, Ctrl]. The default OSD invocation sequence is [Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock]. Note: When using the [Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock] OSD invocation sequence, you must hold down the [Fn] key, as the [Scroll Lock] key is part of the [Num Lock] key.

When you invoke the OSD, a screen similar to the one above appears:

Note: 1. The diagram depicts the Administrator’s Main Screen. The User Main Screen does not have the F4 and F6 functions, since they can’t be accessed by ordinary Users and are reserved for the Administrator.

2.OSD always starts in List view, with the highlight bar at the same position it was when it was last closed.

3.Only the ports that have been set accessible by the Administrator for the currently logged in User are visible (see SET ACCESSIBLE PORTS, page 16, for details).

4.If the port list is collapsed into stations, simply click on the plus sign next to the desired station number, or highlight the desired station number and hit the [Enter] key.
