26. On Screen Display (OSD) (Continued)

Auto Skip

The Auto Skip option allows you to choose whether you want Inactive ports to be selectable or not. If the Auto Skip option is turned on, Inactive ports will not be accessible via the OSD Main Menu or the Port Selection Hotkey Commands. If the Auto Skip option is turned on, you will be able to access Inactive ports using either the OSD Main Menu or the Port Selection Hotkey Commands.

To change the Auto Skip setting:

1.Highlight the Auto Skip option in the OSD General Settings Menu

2.Press the space bar to turn the Auto Skip option On/Off

Note: Changing the Auto Skip setting in the OSD does not affect what ports you can select when accessing the NetCommander IP remotely.

Serial Port

The Serial port is used for the Firmware upgrade. Serial port On means the program can be used.

To change the Serial port setting:

1.Highlight the Serial Port option in the OSD General Settings Menu.

2.Press the space bar to turn the Serial Port option On/Off.

Note: This reference to serial port has nothing to do with the port labeled “serial” port on the back of the KVM. Changing the Keyboard Language

The keyboard is preset to US English. It can be changed to French (FR) or German (DE) by doing the following:

1.Highlight the Keyboard language option in the OSD General Settings Menu

2.Press the space bar to toggle through the various options.

3.When you’ve selected the desired language, simply exit the OSD. Pressing the Enter key is not required to activate your selection

Note! You can use the [+] key of the alphanumeric section or of the numeric keypad on a US English keyboard. With a Non-US English keyboard, use the [+] key of the numeric keypad only.

Editing the Switch Name

The KVM Switch Name appears at the bottom of the OSD General Settings Menu, and can be changed to whatever you want. When cascading KVMs onto the NetCommander IP, it is necessary to access the cascaded KVMs OSD using its own hotkey. Giving cascaded KVM OSDs unique names makes it easier when accessing them to verify which switches OSD you are accessing. To change this name simply type over the existing letters. You can create a name up to 18 characters in length, with spaces counting as characters.

Reset OSD General Settings Menu to Defaults (F7)

When in the OSD General Settings Menu, you can reset all of the options to the original default settings, erasing any changes you have made. If you have changed the Security Passwords, they will be reset to their defaults as well.

27. Port Settings

In the OSD Settings Menu (Access by pressing F2 in the OSD Main Menu), highlight the Ports option and press enter.

Editing the computer name

By default each port is named ‘Computer 01, Computer 02, etc.’ To personalize these names for each computer, highlight the desired port and type directly over the text that’s already there. Each name has a maximum of 15 characters, each space counting as one character. To delete a character, simply highlight it and press the space bar.

Note: The computer name can also be edited in the web configuration interface. (See section 14.)
