The F2 key allows you to switch a computer’s eyemark on or off. First, use the up-
arrow and down-arrow keys to highlight a computer, then press F2 to switch its
eyemark on or off. If Scan Type (described on the following page) is Ready PC +
eyemark, only the powered-on and eyemark-selected computers will be displayed
sequentially in Scan mode. If Scan Type is Eyemark only, only the eyemark-selected
computers will be displayed sequentially in Scan mode.
The F3 key enables you to lock a computer to prevent unauthorized access by
highlighting it and then pressing F3. Now, for the new password, type in up to
four characters (A–Z, 0–9, and “-”) and press the Enter key. A security-enabled
computer is marked with a lock symbol following its port number. To permanently
disable the security function from a locked computer, highlight it, press F3 and
then type in the password.
If you want to access the locked computer temporarily, simply highlight it and
press the Enter key (instead of the F3 key), then the OSD will ask you for the pass-
word. After typing in the correct password, you are allowed to use the computer.
This computer is automatically re-locked once you switch to another port. During
Scan mode, the OSD skips the password-protected computers.
The F4 key enables more functions, including AutoScan, Manual Scan, Scan Type,
Scan Rate, Hotkey Menu, CH Display, and Position. A new screen pops up display-
ing these functions as described on the next two pages. Most of them are
marked with a triangle, indicating there are options to choose from. Use the up-
arrow or down-arrow key to select the functions, and then press the Enter key.
Available options will be shown in the middle of the screen. Again, use the up-
arrow or down-arrow keys to view each option, and then press the Enter key to
select it.
Press the Esc key to exit the OSD at any time and return to the port/PC screen
that you were previously connected to.
AutoScan
In this mode, the module automatically switches from one powered-on computer
to the next one, sequentially in a fixed interval. During AutoScan mode, the OSD
displays the name of the selected computer. When AutoScan detects any key-
board or mouse activity, it suspends the scanning until activity stops; it then
resumes with the next computer in sequence. To abort the AutoScan mode, press
the left Ctrl key twice, or press any front-panel button. Scan Type and Scan Rate
set the scan pattern. Scan Type (press F4, then select More\Scan Type) determines
if scanned computers must also be eyemark selected. Scan Rate (press F4, then
select More\Scan Rate) sets the duration a computer is displayed before selecting
the next one.
