Using the On-Screen Display (OSD)

Overview

The On-Screen Display (OSD) provides a menu-driven interface to handle the computer switching procedure. OSD is a great deal more convenient than HotKey switching, especially in large, daisy chained installations where it is difficult to keep track of the port connection of a particular computer.

All operations start from the OSD Main Menu. To pop up the Main Menu, tap either CTRL key twice. You can optionally change the OSD keys from the CTRL key to the Scroll Lock key from the OSD Main Menu. Thus, you would press the Scroll Lock key twice.

When you invoke the OSD, a screen similar to that shown below will appear:

OSD always starts in List view, with the highlight bar at the same position it was in the last time it was closed.

OSD Menu Navigation

To cancel the current selection on the menu screen, press the ESC key. This will also move back one menu screen and, if on the main menu screen, it will also close the OSD menu.

To move up or down through the menu list, press the up or down arrows on your keyboard or click the Up or Down Triangles on the menu screen.

To move up or down through the menu screens, press the Page Up or Page Down keys on your keyboard or click the Up or Down arrows on the menu screen.

To activate a port, move the Highlight Bar to it and press the Enter key.

After executing any action, you will automatically be brought back to the pre- vious menu screen.

OSD HotKey Navigation

HotKey navigation can also be used under OSD, as follows:

1.From the OSD Main Menu, press [CTRL] + [ALT] + [SHIFT] keys in sequence (not at the same time).

2.Then, type in the Port ID for the computer you wish to access (refer to the Port ID Numbering section for more information on this), then press the Enter key. The Port ID number must be typed within one second of invok- ing HotKey navigation and should be typed from the keyboard, not the number pad.

The console now controls the computer that you have selected. The OSD will automatically close.
