OSD Operation

OSD Overview

The KH2508 / KH2516 OSD provides a graphical interface that offers quick and convenient computer access and control, as well as efficient system administration including user management (access rights, passwords, etc.).

Once the KH2508 / KH2516 has been cabled up, the next step that an Administrator needs to perform is setting the unit up for user operation. After a keyboard, monitor and mouse have been connected and the KH2508 / KH2516 turned on, a login prompt appears on the console monitor:

Since this is the first time you are logging in, use the default Username: administrator; and the default Password: password. For security purposes, we strongly recommend you use the User Management function (see page 43) to change the default Username and Password and give yourself a unique Username and Password with the appropriate permissions.
