OSD Functions

OSD functions are used to configure and control the OSD. For example, you
can: rapidly switch to any port; scan selected ports only; create or edit a port
name; or make OSD setting adjustments.
To access an OSD function:
1. Either Click a Function Key field at the top of the Main Screen, or press a
Function Key on the keyboard.
2. In the Submenus that appear make your choice either by Double Clicking
it, or moving the Highlight Bar to it, then pressing [Enter].
3. Press [Esc] to return to the previous menu level.

F3: SCAN

Clicking the F3 field or pressing [F3] invokes AUTO SCAN Mode. This
function allows you to automatically switch among the available computers at
regular intervals so that you can monitor their activity without having to take
the trouble of switching yourself.
The amount of time that each Port displays for is set with the Scan
Duration setting under the F4 SET function (see F4: SET, page 33).
If the scanning stops on an empty port, or one where the computer is
attached but is powered Off, the monitor screen will be blank, and the
mouse and keyboard will have no effect. After the Scan Duration time is
up, the Scan function will move on to the next port.
While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, the console will not function normally.
You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order to regain control of the console.
To exit Auto Scan Mode, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc].
