CHAPTER 8: OSD FUNCTIONS
The Emerald Receiver and Boxilla incorporate an On-Screen Display (OSD) that allows you to view information about the
configuration of your system and potentially also allows for setting connections and configuration parameters such as the IP
address, depending on the type of user. The following sections describe the operation.
8.1 USER TYPES
The Emerald system supports three classes of users for Matrix products:
1. Administrator – users of this class have full rights to configure the system. They can create/modify/delete new users and
connections, change network settings, etc.
2. Power User – users of this class can modify resolution for connections to virtual desktops and change his/her local password.
3. Standard User – users of this class can only select from a list of pre-defined connections to access and view system
information. They cannot change any configuration settings.
8.2 LOG ON
A user must log-on to the Emerald Receiver or Boxilla to configure and manage the Emerald system. The log-on screen is shown in
Figure 8-1. The username defines the access rights and configuration available to the user.

FIGURE 8-1. OSD LOG-ON SCREEN
The fields on this screen are:
Username: the username to log-on as defined by the Administrator. Username is case-sensitive.
Password: password for the user. Password is case-sensitive.
Remember Me: When this box is checked, the unit keeps the username between log-ons and power-cycles. When this box is not
checked, the username field is always presented as blank when powered-up and after a log-out. This tick-box only affects the
username – the password is never preserved.
Power Button: This button allows the user to reboot the client.
System Preferences: This button has a drop down menu that allows the user to define system preferences for the Emerald Receiver.
Help: This button opens a pop-up window with help on that screen.
