User Access Functions
Introduction
The OSD menu enables a user to name the CPUs connected to the NODEMUX and connect to them using that name from a
single keyboard and mouse. The OSD is positioned on the user's monitor, displaying 8 CPU names at a time. The screen can be
used for switching as well as editing the CPUs’ names. Through the OSD menu, the user can control the NODEMUX to cycle
through all modes of operation: COMMAND, SCAN, BROADCAST and NORMAL. Three LEDs on the front panel indicate
when these modes are enabled.
