Press the [F2] key to pull up the OSD SETTINGS screen. From this screen you can configure the KVM and add/edit user accounts. The pages that follow

one that can access the F2 SETTINGS page.
General
Highlight the General option and press the [Enter] key to open the GENERAL SETTINGS page. This page allows you to turn the KVMs local security settings
on/off, as well as to configure some of the basic KVM settings. The table below describes the settings found in this page.
Setting Description
Security By default, the Security setting is turned off. To activate the Security setting, highlight it and press the [Spacebar] key. Upon pressing
the [Spacebar] key, you will be prompted to enter the administrator password in order to change the Security setting. The default
administrator password is ADMIN. For security purposes, it is recommended that you update the administrator password to something
unique. (See the Security Settings section for details) Note: When security is activated, the keyboard hotkey commands are disabled,
leaving the OSD as the only way for you to locally access the connected computers. Upon pressing the [Shift] [Shift] invocation
command, you will be prompted to enter your password before the OSD can be accessed. The security settings in this OSD are
exclusive to the local console, and do not affect the remote access security settings.
Hotkey By default, the hotkey used in keyboard hotkey commands and to open the OSD is the [Shift] key, but this can be changed to any of
the four options below. To toggle between commands, highlight the Hotkey option and press the [Spacebar] key.

Autoskip By default, the Autoskip setting is enabled, which prevents users from accessing ports that either don't have a computer connected to
them, or that have a powered-off computer connected to them. To toggle this setting on/off, highlight it and press the [Spacebar] key.
Serial Port By default, the Serial Port setting is enabled, which allows a local firmware upgrade to be performed. To toggle this setting on/off,
highlight it and press the [Spacebar] key. Note: This setting affects the firmware upgrade port only, and has nothing to do with the
Serial port on the back of the unit.
Keyboard Language By default, the Keyboard Language setting is set to US English, but it can be changed to French (FR) or German (DE). To toggle
between these three language settings, highlight the Keyboard Language setting and press the [Spacebar] key.
Switch Name By default, the switch name is NETCOMMANDER 16IP, but this can be changed. Simply move the OSD cursor to the Switch Name
and type in the desired name. Delete any characters that you don't want. The Switch Name can be up to 18 characters in length, with
spaces counting as characters.
