Basic Operations

Overview

Your SwitchView OSD may be operated in a non secure (no password
required) or secure (password required) mode. All units ship defaulted to
the non-secure mode. For information on implementing password security
see the "Administrator Functions "section of chapter 4.
PCs may be powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once. No operator interven-
tion is required during booting. When the system stabilizes, a PC may be
selected via the on-screen display menu or keyboard hot-key sequence.
As the system stabilizes, the green LED over each channel will light,
indicating that the attached computer is powered on. A PC may now be
selected via the on-screen display menu or, if you are in non-secure mode,
the Select button or keyboard hot-key sequence. The amber LED will light
at the active computer.
