OSD Function Keys
You can use the function keys when the OSD menu is active.
Function key <F1>
Edits the name of a managed computer or a Slave KVM. First, use the <UP> and <DOWN>
arrow keys to highlight a channel then press <F1> followed by name entry. Your name can be up
to 14 characters long. Valid characters are A to Z, 0 to 9, and the dash character. Lowercase
letters are converted to uppercase. Press <BACKSPACE> to delete a letter one at a time. Non-
volatile memory stores all name entries until you change, even if the unit is powered down.
Function key <F2>
Marks a computer to be scanned by switching the eye mark on or off. First, use the <UP> and
<DOWN> arrow keys to highlight the device, then press <F2> to switch its eye mark on or off.
If Scan Type is Ready PC + Eye (see Function key <F4>), only the powered and eye-marked
computers will be displayed in Scan mode.
Function key <F3>
Locks a device (a computer or a Slave) from unauthorized access. To lock a device, use the
<UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys to highlight it, then press <F3>. Now, enter up to 4 characters
(A to Z, 0 to 9, dash) followed by <ENTER> as new password. A Security-enabled device is
marked with a lock beside its channel number. To permanently disable the security function from
a locked device, highlight it, press <F3> then enter the password.
If you want to access the locked device temporarily, simply highlight it and press <ENTER>.
Enter the password and you can access the device. The device is automatically re-locked once
you switch to another device. During Scan mode, OSD skips the security-enabled device.
Function key <F4>
More functions are available by hitting <F4>. A new screen pops up displaying the functions
described below. Most of them are marked with a triangle indicating there are options to choose
from. Using the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys, select the function and press <ENTER>.
Available options will be shown in the middle of the screen. To select an option, use the <UP>
and <DOWN> arrow keys then press <ENTER> to select the options. You can press <ESCAPE>
to exit at any time.

In this mode, the KVM automatically switches from one powered computer to the next

selected computer. When Auto Scan detects any keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends the
scanning until activity stops; it then resumes with the next computer in sequence. To abort Auto
Scan mode, press the left <CTRL> twice. Scan Type and Scan Rate set the scan pattern. Scan
