USING YOUR SWITCH
• Pressing the space bar will activate the OSD control in focus (same as clicking on
the control). If the list box is in focus, then pressing the space bar gives the
console control of the highlighted computer.
• Pressing “Enter” activates the control in focus, if the control is on a button, or
inside an edit box, but if the focus is on another type of control (e.g. the list
box), the Enter key activates the default control (Close or Exit, depending on the
current OSD screen).
• If the administrator presses “Ctrl + TAB” while viewing one of the Setup pages,
the OSD goes to the next page.
• Shortcut keys are enabled in the OSD. For example, pressing “ALT + X”, where X
corresponds to the underlined character in a control’s label, activates that control.
• When the OSD is up, keyboard and mouse input is routed to it; their signals are
not sent directly to the computer.
• Selecting the “Close” button (or pressing “ALT + C”) on any of the Setup pages
will return the user to the Main page.
• The TAB key can be used to cycle through the controls on the current OSD page.
Shift+TAB will cycle backwards.
• The OSD window can be repositioned by clicking on the title bar and dragging
the window with the mouse.
• To reposition the banner, press and hold “Ctrl + Alt” while the OSD is up; the
cursor jumps from the OSD window to the banner; clicking and dragging the
mouse will allow the user to reposition the banner.
• The Switch maintains the position settings of the OSD and banner for multiple
computer video resolutions. The user should set the positions of the OSD and
banner windows during the Switch setup to make the locations identical for all
video resolutions.
Note: The OSD does not turn off by itself. To reduce the risk of burning the OSD on the
monitor, turn off the monitor or set the KVM Switch to AutoScan Mode. All features
configured in the Setup pages are global (affect all consoles) unless otherwise noted.
