OSD Operation

OSD Overview

The On Screen Display (OSD) is used to handle all computer control and switching procedures. All procedures start from the OSD Main Menu. To pop up the Main Menu, tap the [Scroll Lock] key twice.

Note: You can optionally change the Hotkey to the Ctrl key (see OSD Hotkey, p. 20), in which case you would tap [Ctrl] twice. With this method, the [Ctrl] keys must be on the same side (both left, or both right).

The OSD incorporates a two level (Administrator / User) password system. Before the OSD Main Screen comes up, a dialog box appears that asks you to provide your password. If the password function has been set, you must provide the password in order to access the OSD Main Screen.

If this is the first time that the OSD is being run, or if the password function has not been set, simply press [Enter]. The OSD Main Screen comes up in Administrator Mode. In this mode, you have administrator privileges, with access to all Administrator and User functions, and can set up operations (including password authorization for the future), as you would like.

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

F1:GOTO

F3:SET

F5:SKP

F7:SCAN

X

F2:LIST

F4:ADM

F6:BRC

F8:LOUT

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

2.OSD always starts in List view, with the highlight bar at the same position it was in the last time it was 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, p. 24, for details).
