OSD Operation

This chapter provides a complete description of the procedures involved in the OSD (On Screen Display) operation of your ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL installation.

OSD Operation

OSD Overview The On Screen Display (OSD) is a menu driven method to handle computer control and switching operations. All procedures start from the OSD Main Screen. To pop up the Main Screen, tap the [Scroll Lock] key twice.

Note: You can optionally change the Hotkey to the Ctrl key, in which case you would tap [Ctrl] twice (see OSD Hotkey, p. 4-6). 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 login dialog box appears that asks you to provide your username password. If the pass- word function has been set, you must provide a valid username and 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.
