ATEN CL-1208 - Manual (Page 47)

F8 LOUT:
Clicking the F8 field or, or pressing [F8] logs you out of the OSD, and
blanks the Console screen. This is different from simply deactivating the
OSD when you are at the Main Screen by pressing [Esc].
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.
