OSD Activating Selects which Hotkey combination will activate the OSD function: [Ctrl] [Ctrl]
Hotkey or [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock]. The default is the Ctrl key combination, but this
may conflict with programs running on the computers, in which case, the Scroll
Lock option should be selected.
Set Password Allows you to set a password in order to control access to Locking/Unlocking
the Console (see the OSD Security Features section, below, for details).
Clear Name List* Clears all the Port Names from the Name List. You will be asked to Confirm
before the procedure takes place. A message will be displayed while the Names
are being cleared. Once the Names have been cleared, a message will appear
indicating that the procedure was completed successfully.
Restore Default Clears all the Settings from the memory and returns the unit to the factory
Values* settings. You will be asked to Confirm before the procedure takes place. A
message will be displayed while the Settings are being cleared. Once the
Settings have been cleared, a message will appear indicating that the procedure
was completed successfully.
Lock Console* Locks / Unlocks the Console. When the Console is locked, only the current
monitor screen displays. Attempts to input information from the console have
no effect; attempts to switch to a different port, either from the Console or by
pressing the manual switches, have no effect either. The only way to regain
access to the computers is by Unlocking the Console. If a password has been
set, you must provide the password in order to Lock / Unlock the Console. If no
password has been set, pressing [Enter] will Lock / Unlock the Console.
