To cancel the current selection on the menu screen, press the ESC key. This
will also move back one menu screen and, if on the main menu screen, it will
also close the OSD menu.

To move up or down through the menu list, press the up or down arrows on your
keyboard or click the Up or Down Triangles on the menu screen.

To move up or down through the menu screens, press the Page Up or Page
Down keys on your keyboard or click the Up or Down arrows on the menu
screen.

To activate a port, move the Highlight Bar to it and press the Enter key.

After executing any action, you will automatically be brought back to the pre-
vious menu screen.

HotKey navigation can also be used under OSD, as follows:

1. From the OSD Main Menu, press [CTRL] + [ALT] + [SHIFT] keys in

sequence (not at the same time).

2. Then, type in the Port ID for the computer you wish to access (refer to the

Port ID Numbering section for more information on this), then press the
Enter key. The Port ID number must be typed within one second of invok-
ing HotKey navigation and should be typed from the keyboard, not the
number pad.

The console now controls the computer that you have selected. The OSD will
automatically close.

Using the On-Screen Display (OSD)

The On-Screen Display (OSD) provides a menu-driven interface to handle the
computer switching procedure. OSD is a great deal more convenient than
HotKey switching, especially in large, daisy chained installations where it is
difficult to keep track of the port connection of a particular computer.

All operations start from the OSD Main Menu. To pop up the Main Menu, tap
either CTRL key twice. You can optionally change the OSD keys from the
CTRL key to the Scroll Lock key from the OSD Main Menu. Thus, you would
press the Scroll Lock key twice.

When you invoke the OSD, a screen similar to that shown below will appear:

OSD always starts in List view, with the highlight bar at the same position it
was in the last time it was closed.
