Set Accessible Ports This function allows the administrator to define user access to the computers on the installation
on a port-by-port basis.
For each user, select the target port, then press the [Spacebar] to cycle through the choices: F
(Full Access), V (View Only), or N (No Access). Repeat until all access rights have been set,
then press [
ESC]. The default is F for all users on all ports.
Note: An “N” setting means that no access rights are granted. The port will not show up on the
user's list on the Main Screen.
Edit Port Names To identify which computer is attached to a particular port, every port can be assigned a name.
This function allows the administrator to create, modify, or delete port names.
To assign a port name: Click on the port, or use the navigation keys to move the highlight bar to
it, then press
[ENTER]. Add the new port name, or modify/delete the old one. The maximum
number of characters allowed for the port name is 14. Legal characters include all alpha
characters: A-Z and numeric characters: 0-9
The port names can be entered in either upper or lower case however, the OSD displays the port
name only in uppercase.
When you have finished editing, press [

Clear the Name List This function clears the port name list.
Reset Station IDs If the position of one of the stations in the chain is changed, the OSD settings will no longer
correspond to the new setup.
This function directs the OSD to re-scan the station positions of the entire installation and

Note: Only the station numbers are updated. Except for the port names, all administrator
settings (such as Set Accessible Ports, Set Quick View Ports, etc.), for all of the computers
affected by the change, have to be manually redone.

each port on the installation. For each port, press the [

ESC]. The default is PC.
Note: A Sun or Mac computer may not boot when you run it for the first time unless the
