Orion XC Installation and Operation Manual
Set user-defined 'Hot Key'
When setting a user-defined 'Hot Key' (e.g. 2x<Space>), ‘Hot Key’ Code 0 is used. For example, to set
<Space> as the ‘Hot Key’, the following keyboard sequence will be used:
<current 'Hot Key'>, <c>, <0>, <Space>, <Enter>.
Set ‘Hot Key’ for direct OSD access
Besides using the ‘Hot Key’ for standard functions, a ‘Hot Key’ can be set up to directly access the OSD.
To use one of the pre-defined ‘Hot Key’ Codes (Codes from 2 to 8) from the table above, use the following
keyboard sequence:
<current 'Hot Key'>, <f>, <'Hot Key' code>, <Enter>.
To specify a user-defined ‘Hot Key’ like 2x<Space>, use the following keyboard sequence:
<current 'Hot Key'>, <f>, <0>, <Space>, <Enter>.
Reset ‘Hot Key'
In order to set a ‘Hot Key' back to the default settings of the extender, press the key combination
<Right Shift>+<Del> within 5 seconds after switching on the CON unit or plugging in a keyboard.
Control Options
The Orion XC contains an internal CPU that allows control of all functions from any console without the need
for an external CPU.
The following methods are available to configure and/or operate the Orion XC:
through the OSD
through the Java Tool
through the serial interface
Control through the OSD
The Orion XC can be configured through the OSD (On-Screen-Display). The settings of the
Configuration
menu
are described below. All other menus are described in later chapters.
Entering the OSD
1. Start Command Mode with the 'Hot Key' (default: 2x <Left Shift>).
2. Press <o> to open OSD. If the
Enable CPU Selection
option is enabled in the
Configuration
screen,
a selection list for switching between available CPU Devices is displayed. In that case, press <F7> to
go to the OSD main menu.
Leaving the OSD
Press <Esc> in the main menu, or <Left Shift> + <Esc> from any OSD menu.
The OSD will be closed without any further changes and the currently active CPU connection will be displayed.
