Basic Operation
Port Selection
KH1508i / KH1516i installations provide three methods to obtain instant
access to any computer in your installation: Manual, OSD, and Hotkey.
Manual
For manual port selection, simply press the Port Switch that corresponds to the
device you wish to access.
OSD
OSD (On Screen Display), provides a menu driven interface to the computer
switching procedure. The KH1508i / KH1516i provides two OSD systems: A
text-based OSD when you log in from a local console; and a graphical OSD
when you log in remotely over the internet. Local console OSD operation is
discussed in the next chapter; graphical OSD operation is discussed in
Chapter 7 for Windows and Java logins.
Keyboard Hotkeys
Hotkeys allow you to conveniently provide KVM focus to a particular
computer from the local console keyboard, instead of having to manually select
them by pressing Port Selection switches. See Keyboard Port Operation,
page 34, for details.
