Osd Overview - ATEN Master View CS-138A User Manual

OSD Overview

The On Screen Display (OSD) provides a menu driven interface to handle the
computer switching procedure. Although Hotkey switching still works, using
OSD is a great deal more convenient - especially in large, daisy chained
installations where a great number of computers are connected to a several
Master View CS-138A units, and it is difficult to keep track of which port a
particular computer is attached to. All operations start from the OSD Main Menu.
To pop up the Main Menu, tap either Ctrl key twice. Note:You can optionally
change the hotkey to the Scroll Lock key (see F6, below), in which case you
would press [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock].
OSD always starts in List view, with the highlight bar at the same position it was
in the last time it was closed.
From the Main Menu, you can go directly to any port by keying in
[Ctrl+Alt+Shift], then the Port ID Number, and then pressing [Enter].
Note:
With this method, although access switches to the port you just specified, the
highlight bar on the OSD screen doesn't move.
