3.3 On Screen Display Menu (OSD) Port Selection

The On Screen Display menu provides a lot of information about the P16-IP and the attached

computers, and offers advanced administration features and full KVM Switch control to the user.

To invoke the On Screen Display Menu press the following hotkeys:

+ + = On Screen Display Menu

The OSD menu closes down automatically after a specified time period, which can be set in the

OSD settings menu. The time selected can be between 5 and 99 seconds

The OSD menu can be invoked even when the P16-IP is currently switched to a port with no

connected or a non-powered on PC. In this case the resolution of OSD menu is fixed to a 1024

X 768 virtual frame.

If you wish to, you can restore the factory default values of the OSD. Please note this does not

include resetting the password! The bank LED display on the front panel will flash during the

memory refresh process.

+ + = OSD setting back to factory default value

(Note: Not including password)

An OSD overlay window will be displayed on the screen

during the memory refresh process

When the OSD values have been reset back to factory default, the bank LED on the front panel

will stop flashing.

The OSD also allows you to give each attached computer its own name. A name search

function is also available from the OSD:

+ + = Search the same PC name

(Note: Search PC name starting from 1

st

PC port)

You can type in one character up to a complete name. The

upper part of the window will display all computer names

that match one by one. You can use the UP/DOWN cursor

keys to toggle through this name list.

Press ENTER to switch to the computer displayed in the

upper window.

ESC closes the window
