Guidelines for Navigating OSD Menus

Throughout this manual, various rules apply for navigating the menus used to control and operate the PRIMUX.

OSD menus can be navigated using the mouse, the up and down arrows on the keyboard, and the <Page Up>, <

Page

Down

>, <Home>,<Tab> and <End> keys.

-

The up and down arrows increment/decrement one line item at a time

-

<

Page Up

> and <

Page Down

> increment/decrement by one page at a time

-

<

Home

> will jump to the beginning of the list

-

<

Tab

> will jump between selectable fields (on supported screens)

-

<

End

> will jump to the end of the list.

Alphabetic and numeric characters can be typed in the OSD menu fields, as well as these additional characters:

! (exclamation point) , * (asterisk) , ( , ) (left and right parenthesis), - (dash) , _ (underscore), + (plus sign) , = (equal sign) , ;
(semicolon) , : (colon), “ (quotation mark) , ‘ (apostrophe) , ? (question mark) , / (forward slash) , comma, and period .

The <Shift> key must be used to enter an uppercase letter within all OSD menus.

Functions that are "Administrator Only" are also available to users having administrative rights (see page 32).

When "+" is shown between keystrokes, it indicates a chorded sequence (press and hold the keys consecutively until all keys
in the sequence are pressed). I.e. <Ctrl>+<`> is a chorded sequence to enter Command Mode.

When "-" is shown between keystrokes, it indicates to press the keys consecutively (press and release one at a time)

To exit (and step back 1 menu) from any menu, press <

Esc

> on the keyboard.

• Press

<F10> to return directly to the Command Mode menu.

Alphabetic Keys pressed to navigate OSD menus can be upper or lowercase.

Reference the image below

:

1. Available functions will have white characters with one red character. The red character indicates what corresponding

keyboard character is associated with that function. The background of available functions will become green when the
mouse pointer is positioned over the function.

2.

When selecting a function spelled with a red letter, press the keyboard key corresponding with that letter on the keyboard
or use the mouse to select the function. Red letter keys are NOT case sensitive.

3.

The scroll bar in a list can be used by clicking on the corresponding up and down arrow above and below the scroll bar.

4.

The mouse wheel may be used to move the selection bar

5.

Placing the mouse over a listed Host Adapter highlighting the listed item with a light blue background "selects" the Host
Adapter. Clicking on it while in Command Mode will connect to that Host Adapter.
