9. OSD Operation
The on-screen display (OSD) is a mouse- and keyboard-enabled, menu-driven method to handle computer control
and switching operations. All procedures start from the OSD main screen.
9.1 OSD Login
The OSD incorporates a two-level (administrator/user) password system. Before the OSD main screen displays, a
login screen appears requiring a password. If this is the first time the OSD is used, or if the password function has
not been set, simply press [Enter]. The OSD main screen displays in administrator mode. In this mode, you have
administrator privileges with access to all administrator and user functions, and can set up operations (including
password authorization) as desired. If the password function has been set, you must provide an appropriate
administrator/user password in order to access the OSD.
9.2 OSD Hotkey
You can display the OSD on the console monitor while also viewing the display of any port on the KVM by pressing
the [Scroll Lock] key twice.
Note: You can optionally change the OSD hotkey to the Ctrl key, in which case you would press [Ctrl] twice (see 9.2 OSD
Hotkey). With this method, you must press the same [Ctrl] key.
