ATEN ACS-1208AL - Manual (Page 47)

F8 LOUT:
Clicking the F8 field or, or pressing [F8] logs you out of OSD
control of the computers, and blanks the Console screen. This is
different from simply pressing [Esc] when you are at the Main
Screen to deactivate the OSD. With this function you must log in
all over again to regain access to the OSD, whereas with [Esc], all
you have to do to reenter the OSD is tap the OSD Hotkey.
Note: 1. When you reenter the OSD after logging out, the screen
stays blank except for the OSD Main Screen. You must
input your password before you can continue.
2. If you reenter the OSD after logging out, and
immediately use [Esc] to deactivate the OSD without
having selected a port from the OSD menu, a Null Port
message displays on the screen. The OSD Hotkey will
bring up the Main OSD Screen.
