The port number (or channel address) of the currently selected computer is displayed
in red in the top right of the screen.
The device name is green if the device has power and is ready for selection or white if
it has no power. The OSD menu automatically updates the color when it is activated.
On the 16-port models, use the <Page Up> and <Page Down> keys to view the other
8 computers.
Use the <UP>, <DOWN>, 1~8, or A~H keys to highlight a computer and <ENTER> to
select it.
Press <ESCAPE> to exit the OSD menu and remove the OSD menu from the screen.
A triangle mark on the right side of the screen indicates the port is cascaded to a
Slave KVM; the number at the left of the triangle mark shows the number of ports the
Slave has. With that port highlighted, press <ENTER> to bring up a screen listing the
computers connected to that Slave. The name of the Slave KVM will be shown at the
upper right corner of the OSD menu.
An eye mark on the right side of the screen indicates that the computer has been
selected to be monitored in Scan mode. You can switch this mark on and off using
function key <F2>.
Press <ESCAPE> to exit the OSD and to return to using the selected computer. The
computer name is shown on the screen.
