6. KVM Operation (continued)

6.6.1 Port Access via Remote OSD

The remote OSD displays the ports and KVM stations in the installation in a tree format. KVM stations are displayed with a +/- sign next to them, which when clicked will display or hide the ports on that KVM. To access a port in the installation, you can double-click on the desired port or use the [] and [] keys to highlight it and hit the [Enter] key.

6.6.2 Port Access via Remote OSD Toolbar

In addition to the remote OSD, a remote OSD toolbar is provided for greater control of the connected ports. The remote OSD toolbar contains icons that when clicked allow you to quickly switch between ports, start an auto scan or invoke panel array mode.

To open the remote OSD toolbar, hit the [Scroll Lock] key twice. The OSD hotkey can be changed from [Scroll Lock] to [Ctrl] in the Configuration page of the remote OSD (see page 31 for details).

When the remote OSD toolbar is opened, ordinary keyboard and mouse functionality is suspended. The mouse functionality will be limited to the remote OSD toolbar only. The keyboard functionality will be limited to the hotkey commands mentioned below and the [Ctrl], [Alt], [Delete] command for the local computer. Pressing the [Esc] key will close the remote OSD toolbar.

When the remote OSD toolbar is opened, you can hit the [Scroll Lock] key once more to open the remote OSD. When the OSD toolbar is not opened, hitting the [Scroll Lock] key three times will open the remote OSD.

When the remote OSD toolbar is opened, pressing the [] key will skip to the first accessible port prior to the currently selected port.

When the remote OSD toolbar is opened, pressing the [] key will skip to the first accessible port after the currently selected port.

When the remote OSD toolbar is opened, pressing the [] key will skip to the first accessible port in the entire installation.

When the remote OSD toolbar is opened, pressing the [] key will skip to the last accessible port in the entire installation.
