OSD Operation
T
his chapter provides a complete description of the procedures involved in the OSD
(On Screen Display) operation of your ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL installation.
OSD Operation
OSD Overview The On Screen Display (OSD) is a menu driven method to handle
computer control and switching operations. All procedures start from
the OSD Main Screen. To pop up the Main Screen, tap the [Scroll Lock]
key twice.
Note: You can optionally change the Hotkey to the Ctrl key, in
which case you would tap [Ctrl] twice (see OSD Hotkey, p.
4-6). With this method, the [Ctrl] keys must be on the same
side (both left, or both right).
The OSD incorporates a two level (Administrator / User) password
system. Before the OSD Main Screen comes up, a login dialog box
appears that asks you to provide your username password. If the pass-
word function has been set, you must provide a valid username and
password in order to access the OSD Main Screen.
If this is the first time that the OSD is being run, or if the password
function has not been set, simply press [Enter]. The OSD Main Screen
comes up in Administrator Mode. In this mode, you have Administrator
privileges, with access to all Administrator and User functions, and can
set up operations (including password authorization for the future), as
you would like.
