2.In the Submenus that appear make your choice either by Double Clicking it, or moving the Highlight Bar to it, then pressing [Enter].

3.Press [Esc] to return to the previous menu level.

A complete description of the KM0216 / KM0432's OSD operations are given in the sections that follow.

F1 GOTO

GOTO allows you to switch directly to a port or daisy chained KVM either by keying in the port's Name, Port ID or Station ID.

ŠTo use the Name method, key in 1; key in the port's Name; then press [Enter].

ŠTo use the Port ID method, key in 2; key in the Port ID; then press [Enter].

ŠTo use the Station ID method, key in 3; key in the Station ID; then press [Enter] to go to another station on the daisy chain installation (see BUS AUTHORIZATION, page 43). Only an authorized operator at the Master Station (the top level KM0216 / KM0432) can use this function.

Note: You can key in a partial Name or Port ID. In that case, the screen will show all the computers that the User has View rights to (see SET ACCESSIBLE PORTS, page 42), that match the Name or Port ID pattern, regardless of the current List settings (see F2 LIST, page 37, for details).

To return to the OSD Main Screen without making a choice, press [Esc].
