OSD Operation

OSD Overview

The OSD (on-screen display) is a mouse and keyboard enabled, menu driven method to handle computer control and switching operations. All procedures start from the OSD main screen.

OSD Login

The OSD incorporates a two level (administrator / user) password system. Before the OSD main screen displays, a login screen appears requiring a password. If this is the first time that the OSD is used, or if the password function has not been set, simply press [Enter]. The OSD main screen displays 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) as you like. However, if the password function has been set, you must provide an appropriate administrator/user password in order to access the OSD.

OSD Hotkey

You can display the OSD on the LCD or an external console monitor while also viewing the display of any port on the CL5708 / CL5716 by pressing the [Scroll Lock] key twice.

Note: You can optionally change the OSD hotkey to the Ctrl key, in which case you would press [Ctrl] twice (see OSD Hotkey, page 36). With this method, you must press the same [Ctrl] key.
