Firmware
On Screen Display (OSD) - Firmware Option
The optional Configurator can be accessed and controlled via an OSD (
O
n-
S
creen
D
isplay) technology.
The Configurator software can be installed on a designated out-of-band (OOB) PC which users can
access from a workstation. A preconfigured hot-key sequence will deliver the Configurator GUI straight
to the user’s desktop monitor. The user can then select the defined sources and destinations that they
wish to connect. While a user is making the connections, they have exclusive use of the OOB PC. Once
they have completed their connections, the OOB PC becomes available for the next user. The OOB PC
that has the Configurator loaded on it has a built in timeout function, therefore the PC should not be
taken out of service for an extended period of time. The timeouts can be set in increments of one
second. Typical timeouts are in the order of 10 seconds.

Note: If mounting the chassis in a rack, insure that air flow to the fans is not restricted
(minimum 2” of free space on all sides).
Note: If any of the sensors detect an over temperature condition, power will be removed
from all sensitive components and the system will shut down.
