Pressing a Function Key brings up a related submenu that is used to conveniently
configure and control the OSD. For example, you can rapidly switch to any port, scan
selected ports only limit the list you wish to view, designate a port to be included in the
Quick View scan group, create or edit a port name, or make OSD setting adjustments.
F1 GoTo:
GoTo allows you to switch directly to a port by the following methods:
a) Move the Highlight Bar to the port you want then press [Enter] or Double Click with
the left mouse button.
Note: GoTo has a special feature that narrows the list of available choices as you type
the name. For example, if the first letter you type is a, the list only displays those
ports whose names begin with a. If the next letter you type is b, the list is further
narrowed to only those ports whose names begin with ab, etc.
Return to the OSD Main Menu without making a choice, press [Esc].

F2 Quick View Scanning:
Pressing [F2] initiates Scanning, in which the OSD cycles through all the ports that
are currently selected in the List view (see F3, below), and displays each one for the
amount of time set with the Set Scan Duration function (see F6, below). When you
want to stop at a particular location, press the [Spacebar] to stop scanning.
Note: (1) 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. To recover, key in the HotKey
sequence (see HotKey Selection above) for any Port ID that has an
active PC attached.
(2) As the OSD cycles through the selected ports, an “S” appears in front of
the Port ID display as each computer is accessed to indicate that the
computer is being accessed under Quick View Scan Mode.
