OSD Function Keys
You can use the function keys when the OSD menu is active.
Function key <F1>
Edits the name of a 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.
