OSD Function Keys

You can use the function keys when the OSD menu is active.
The Function key <F1> edits the name of a managed computer or a
Slave KVM. First, use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys to highlight a
channel then press <F1> followed by name entry.
Your name can be up to 14 characters long. Valid characters are A to Z,
0 to 9, and the dash character. Lowercase letters are converted to up-
percase. Press <BACKSPACE> to delete a letter one at a time. Nonvola-
tile memory stores all name entries until you change, even if the unit is
powered down.
The Function key <F2> Marks a computer to be scanned by switching
the eye mark on or off. First, use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys to
highlight the device, then press <F2> to switch its eye mark on or off. If
Scan Type is Ready PC + Eye (see Function key <F4>), only the pow-
ered and eye-marked computers will be displayed in Scan mode.
The Function key <F3> Locks a device (a computer or a Slave) from
unauthorized access. To lock a device, use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow
keys to highlight it, then press <F3>. Now, enter up to 4 characters (A to
Z, 0 to 9, dash) followed by <ENTER> as a new password. A Security
enabled device is marked with a lock beside its channel number. To
permanently disable the security function from a locked device, highlight
it, press <F3> then enter the password. If you want to access the locked
device temporarily, simply highlight it and press <ENTER>. Enter the
password and you can access the device. The device is automatically re-
locked once you switch to another device. During Scan mode, OSD skips
the security-enabled device.
The Function key <F4> will open a pop up window, displaying the func-
tions described below. Most of them are marked with a triangle indicating
there are options from which to choose. Using the <UP> and <DOWN>
arrow keys, select the function and press <ENTER>.
Available options will be shown in the middle of the screen. To select an
option, use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys then press <ENTER> to
select the options.You can press <ESCAPE> to exit at any time.
