RESET

If you change the position of one of the stations in the daisy chain, the

STATION IDS

OSD settings will no longer correspond to the new situation. This

 

function directs the OSD to rescan the station positions of the entire

 

installation and updates the OSD so that the OSD station information

 

corresponds to the new physical layout.

 

Note: Only the station numbers get updated. Except for the port

 

names, all administrator settings (such as Set Accessible Ports, Set

 

Quick View Ports, etc.), for all of the computers affected by the change,

 

have to be manually redone.

 

 

SET

Specifies the operating platform of the computer attached to each port.

OPERATING

You must configure each port on the installation. For each port, press

SYSTEM

the [Spacebar] to cycle through the choices (PC, Mac or Sun). Repeat

 

until all the ports have been set, then press [Esc]. The default is PC.

 

Note: If you are installing a Sun or Mac computer it may not boot when

 

you run it for the first time unless you first set the correct operating

 

system for the port it is connected to.
