OSD Operation (continued)

Favorites

Favorites is similar to a bookmarks feature. Frequently visited ports can be listed on this page. Open this page and select the port instead of searching for it in the tree view. This feature is especially useful for larger, cascaded installations. Note: Each Favorites bookmark that you create is a folder in which multiple ports can be saved.

Adding a Favorite

To add a port to Favorites, do the following:

1.Right click in the main panel and click on the Add Favorite option that appears. An entry appears named Untitled Favorite.

2.Click inside the text entry box to erase Untitled Favorite and key in the desired name.

3.To add a port, drag it from the Port Select list and drop it into the Favorites bookmark you just created. You can also add a port by right-clicking on it, and selecting Copy. After copying, right-click on the Favorites bookmark and select Paste. The KVM switch the port is connected to goes into the Favorites bookmark along with the port. The port is located under the switch, as it would be in the tree view on the left-hand panel.

Note: Right-clicking on a port that is already in a Favorites bookmark will give you the option to cut the port out of that bookmark and paste it into another Favorites bookmark.

4.Repeat step 3 for any other ports you want to add to your Favorites bookmark.

Modifying a Favorite

To modify a Favorites bookmark, right-click on it and select one of the options from the pop-up menu that appears. The menu that appears allows you to perform the following options:

Collapse/Expand – As with the tree view on the right-hand side of the page, this option allows you to either collapse or expand the Favorites bookmark and all of its included ports

Add Favorite – Select this option to create a new Favorites bookmark Delete – Select this option to delete the selected Favorites bookmark

Rename – Select this option to change the name of the Favorite bookmark

Copy – Select this option to copy all of the Favorites bookmark’s contents, in order to paste them into another Favorites bookmark

Paste – Select this option to paste copied ports into the selected Favorites bookmark

Note: Right-clicking on a port that is already in a Favorites bookmark will give you the option to Cut the port out of that bookmark and paste it into another Favorites bookmark.
