User Access Functions
Introduction
The OSD menu enables a user to name the CPUs connected to the KEEMUX and connect to them using that name from a single
keyboard and mouse. The OSD is positioned on the user's monitor, displaying 8 CPU names at a time. The screen can be used
for switching as well as editing the CPUs’ names. Through the OSD menu, the user can control the KEEMUX to cycle through all
modes of operation: COMMAND, SCAN, BROADCAST and NORMAL. LEDs on the front panel will illuminate to indicate when
these modes are enabled.
OSD Command Mode
If the OSD option is installed, when entering the Command Mode from the keyboard using the <Ctrl> + <`> (accent key),
the On Screen Display menu will automatically appear on the monitor in addition to illuminating the indicator LEDs on the KVM
switch. This provides a visual way to control the KEEMUX using the keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
The list below describes the command functions available from the keyboard within the OSD mode of control after entering into
Command Mode and while the COMMAND LED is illuminated:
