Chapter 4. OSD Operation
F8: LOUTClicking the F8 field, or pressing [F8], logs you out of the OSD and blanks the console screen. This is different from simply deactivating the OSD when you are at the Main Screen by pressing [Esc].
With this function you must log in all over again to regain access to the OSD, whereas with [Esc], all you have to do to reenter the OSD is tap the OSD Hotkey.
Note: 1. When you reenter the OSD after logging out, the screen stays blank except for the login dialog box. You must input your username and password before you can continue (see page 23). If login has been disabled by the administrator (see page 33), the F8 function is also disabled.
2.If you reenter the OSD after logging out, and immediately use [Esc] to deactivate the OSD without having selected a port from the OSD menu, a Null Port message displays on the screen. The OSD hotkey will bring up the OSD Main Screen.
