OSD Main Screen
After the log in, a screen similar to the one
at right appears:
1. The diagram depicts the administrator’s
main screen. The user main screen
does not show the F4 and F6 functions
because these are reserved for the
administrator and can’t be accessed by
users.
2. The OSD always starts in list view, with
the highlight bar at the same position it
was in the last time it was closed.
3. Only the ports that have been set
accessible by the administrator for the
current logged in user are visible.
4. If there is a next to the monitor icon,
which means that port is attached to
another KVM (Cascading). Click on a
switch number, or move the highlight
bar to it then press the right arrow key
to expand the list. Similarly, to collapse
a switch’s port list, click on the switch
number, or move the highlight bar to it
then press the left arrow key to collapse
the list.
