Tripp Lite B060-032 owner manual Cascaded OSD Operation, F8 Lout

OSD Operation (continued)

OSD Functions

F8 LOUT

LOUT (Log Out) logs you out of OSD control of the computers, and blanks the Console screen. This is different from simply pressing [Esc] to deactivate the OSD when you are at the Main Screen. With this function you must log in all over again to regain access to the OSD, whereas with [Esc], all you have to do to reenter the OSD is tap the OSD Hotkey.

Note: 1 When you reenter the OSD after logging out, the screen stays blank except for the OSD Main Screen. You must input your password before you can continue.

2.If you re-enter the OSD after logging out, and immediately use [Esc] to deactivate the OSD with- out having selected a port from the OSD menu, a Null Port message displays on the screen. The OSD Hotkey will bring up the Main OSD Screen.

Cascaded OSD Operation

Under Protocol Interface Cascading (see p. 12), the OSDs of the cascaded switches are all seamlessly integrated into the B060-032's OSD so that all ports can be accessed from there.

Under Physical Interface Cascading (see p. 13), however, there are two separate OSDs: one for the B060-032, and one for the cascaded switch.

If both the B060-032 and the cascaded switch use the same OSD Hotkey ([Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock], for example), both OSDs show up on the console monitor when you invoke the OSD.

The B060-032’s OSD is on top, overlaying the OSD of the cascaded switch. To proceed, select the port that the cascaded switch is connected to on the B060-032’s OSD. The B060-032's OSD

disappears, leaving the cascaded switch’s OSD for you to work with.

You can eliminate this problem by selecting the alternate OSD Hotkey ([Ctrl] [Ctrl]) for the cascaded switch (see the switch’s User Manual for details). With this method when you press [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock], only the B060-032’s OSD comes up. To proceed:

1.Select the port that the cascaded switch is connected to. The B060-032’s OSD disappears. 2.Tap [Ctrl] [Ctrl] to bring up the cascaded switch's OSD for you to work with.
