OSD Functions

OSD functions configure and control the OSD. Examples of what can be accomplished with the OSD include: rapidly switching to any port; auto scanning specifically selected ports; limiting the list of ports you wish to view; designating a port as a Quick View Port; managing port names; user management, system administration, and making OSD setting adjustments.

To access an OSD function:

1.Either Click a Function Key field at the top of the Main Screen, or press a Function Key on the keyboard.

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 either by keying in the port’s Name, or its Port ID.

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

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

wKey in 3, to go to a Station on the installation other than the ones connected to the Station you are logged in on (see Bus Authorization, p. 45). 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, p. 44), that match the Name or Port ID pattern, regardless of the current List settings (see F2 LIST, p. 39, for details).

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