ACCESSING THE DASHBOARD
The modules generally configure themselves automatically, collecting EDID information from the attached monitor(s) and
passing the details to the host computer. Unless an issue is encountered, the modules will begin working together correctly as
soon as they are connected. The front panel indicators provide the primary source of status information, however, there is also a
Dashboard popup which provides certain other details on the primary console display.
TO ACCESS THE DASHBOARD
1 Using your console keyboard attached to the receiver module, press (and release) the
Ctrl
key
three times
in quick succession (either
of the keyboard’s Ctrl keys can be used). In response, the three keyboard indicators will all flash, once per second.
2 Press the numeric key
1
located above the main section of the keyboard (not the numeric keypad).
The Dashboard will be displayed, similar to this:
