CHAPTER 8: OSD FUNCTIONS
Tick the box “Connect Via Connection Broker Server” to enable connection using local Connection Broker Server. Then enter the
following settings:
1. Enter in the domain name as defined on the local network.
2. Enter in your load balance address as defined in the local server configured, e.g. tsv://VMResource.1.Win7Pool.
Export Settings
The Export option exports an encrypted version of the Receiver configuration to an attached memory stick. This can be used as a
backup mechanism for an individual receiver or manager or it can be used to port configurations from one Receiver to another.
The data in the export file consists of User, Connection and device information from the exporting device.
Import Settings
The Import option imports an encrypted version of a Receiver configuration from an attached memory stick. This can be used to
recover an old backup from the same Receiver or it can be used to port configurations from another Receiver.
The data in the file consists of User, Connection and some device information from the exporting device.
The following settings are not imported.
1. OSD Preferred Resolution
2. Static IP address. In this case, if the importing device is set to static but the import file has a DHCP configuration, then the device
configuration is changed to DHCP. Likewise, if the local device was DHCP and the import file was Static, the device
configuration is change to Static but with its last configured Static IP address, not that of the imported file. If both local device and
import file have a Static IP address configured, there is no change to the device configuration, i.e. the IP address is not changed.
NOTE: If the Import function is on the Manager, then the file must come from another Manager with the same Licensed Capabilities
or the import will not proceed.
System Diagnostics
The diagnostics provides information for Black Box to debug customer encountered issues. When this button is clicked the user is
asked to save the diagnostics onto a memory stick in the Receiver unit. This file should be sent back to Black Box for analysis. There
is a similar diagnostic that can be run on a transmitter.

The Password button when clicked allows the current user’s password to be changed. This button is only visible to Administrators.
