If you use an R&S OSP230 or an R&S OSP320 with display module R&S OSP-
B300M, you can control your switch unit by the user interface on the integrated
touchscreen display.
Alternatively, with any of the R&S OSP models, you can control your switch unit
via an external mouse and keyboard, connected to the USB interfaces (see (4) in
Figure 6-4 ). Optionally (especially without integrated touchscreen), you can con-
nect an external monitor to the switch unit's HDMI interface (see (5)).
