Osd Operation - IOGear MiniView Ultra GCS138 User Manual

OSD Operation

OSD Operation
On Screen Display (OSD), provides a menu driven interface to handle the computer
switching procedure. Although HotKey switching still works, using OSD is a great deal
more convenient - especially in large, daisy chained installations where a great number
of computers are connected to several MiniView™ Ultra GCS138 units, and it is
difficult to keep track of which port a particular PC is attached to.
All operations start from the OSD Main Menu. To activate the Main Menu, press the
Control key twice ([Ctrl] [Ctrl]):
Note: You can use either the left or right Ctrl keys, but they must both be on the same
side (both left, or both right).
OSD always starts in List view, with the highlight bar at the same position it was in the
last time it was closed.
Note: You can optionally change the OSD HotKey to the Scroll Lock key
(see F6, p. 21), in which case you would press [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock].
• To activate a port, move the Highlight Bar to it then press [Enter].
• [Esc] cancels the current selection, or dismisses the current menu and moves back
to the menu one level above. If you are at the highest menu level, it deactivates OSD.
After executing any action by pressing [Enter], you automatically go back to the menu
one level above. Use the Up and Down Arrow Keys to move up or down through the
list one line at a time
• Use [Pg Up] and [Pg Dn] to move up or down through the list one screen at a time
