9. OSD Operation
9.6.8 F8: Logout
Clicking
or pressing [F8] logs you out of OSD control of the computers and blanks the console screen.
This is different from simply pressing [Esc] when you are at the main screen to deactivate the OSD. 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.
Notes:
• When you reenter the OSD after logging out, the screen stays blank except for the OSD main screen. You must input your
username and password before you can continue.
• If you reenter the OSD after logging out and immediately use [Esc] to deactivate the OSD without 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.
