OSD Functions
OSD functions are used to configure and control the OSD. You can:
• rapidly switch to any port
• scan selected ports only
• limit the list you wish to view
• designate a port as a Quick View Port
• create or edit a port name
• make OSD setting adjustments.
To access an OSD function:
1) Either Click a Function Key field on the screen, or press a Function Key on the keyboard.
2) Make your choice in the sub-menus that appear by either Double Clicking it, or moving the Highlight
Bar to it, then pressing [Enter].
3) Press [Esc] to return to the previous menu level.
F1 Go To (GOTO)
Click the F1 field or press [F1] to activate the GOTO function. GOTO allows you to switch directly to a
port either by keying in the port’s Name, or its Port ID.
• To use the Name, enter [1]; key in the port’s Name; then press [Enter].
• To use the Port ID, enter [2]; key in the Port ID; then press [Enter].
Note: A partial Name or Port ID can be entered. The screen will show all the computers that match the Name or Port ID pattern AND
that the User is allowed to access (see SETACCESSIBLE PORTS, page 18. This disregards the current List settings (see F2 LIST, below,
for details).
To return to the OSD Main Menu without making a choice, press [Esc].
F2 List Ports (LIST)
This function lets you tailor the list of ports the OSD will display on the Main Screen. Many OSD functions
will only operate on computers selected from the Listing on the Main Screen using this function. The submenu
choices and their meanings are given in the table below:
* These items only show up on the Administrator’s screen, since only the administrator has Quick View setting rights (see SET QUICK VIEW
PORTS, page 18, for details).
Move the Highlight Bar to the desired choice and press [Enter]. An icon appears next to the choice to indicate
that it the one currently selected.
