8. OSD (On-Screen Display) Operation
Setting Function
RESET STATION IDS This function is used when you change the position of one of the KVM stations in a daisy-chain. When you change the position of
the station, the OSD does not recognize the change and will not automatically update the main menu to display the stations in
correct order. When this function is used, the KVM will scan the entire installation and update the station numbers accordingly. The
port names of the affected stations will be kept; however, you will need to manually update all other settings (SET ACCESSIBLE
PORTS, SET QUICK VIEW PORTS, etc.).
SET OPERATING SYSTEM This allows the Administrator to set the operating system for the port to match that of the connected computer. To set the
operating system, do the following:
1. Highlight the desired port or click on it using the touchpad.
2. Press the [Spacebar] to toggle between four options; WIN, MAC, SUN and OTHER. Each port is set to WIN by default.
3. You do not need to press the [Enter] key to save this setting.
FIRMWARE UPGRADE In order to upgrade the KVMs firmware, Firmware Upgrade Mode must be invoked via this setting. (See page 18 for details on
performing a firmware upgrade.) When you select this option, the firmware version numbers are displayed on the OSD screen and
a prompt will ask if you wish to continue with a firmware upgrade. If yes, type in Y. If no, type in N.
KEYBOARD Sets the language for an external keyboard connected to the KVMs external keyboard port. To select a keyboard language, double-
LANGUAGE click on the desired language or highlight it and hit the [Enter] key. You can choose between US English, UK English, German,
Swiss German, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Traditional Chinese.
SET CONSOLE MODE This allows the Administrator to set which consoles are enabled for use. Press the spacebar to toggle between three choices:
1. Mode 0 – Both consoles are enabled.
2. Mode 1 – Only the built-in LCD console is enabled.
3. Mode 2 – Only the external console is enabled.
This setting defaults at Mode 0. (Both consoles are enabled.)
F5 Skip (SKP)
Invokes the Skip (SKP) Mode by clicking the F5 field or pressing [F5]. This function skips backward or forward—switching the console focus from the
currently active computer port to the previous or next available one.
• The selection of computers to be available for Skip Mode switching is made with the Scan/Skip Mode setting under the F3 SET function (see
page 15).
• When in the Skip Mode, press:
• [] to switch to the previous computer in the list.
• [] to switch to the next computer in the list.
• [] to switch to the last computer on the previous station in the list.
• [] to switch to the first computer on the next station in the list.
• If a port has been selected for Scan/Skip Mode, a Left/Right Triangle symbol appears before its Port ID Display (when the focus switches to that
port), to indicate so.
• The keyboard and mouse will not function normally in Skip Mode. The only keys you will be able to use are the Arrow keys. The Skip Mode must be
exited in order to regain normal control of the keyboard and mouse.
• To exit Skip Mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
8.6 OSD Functions
F6 Broadcast Mode (BRC)
F6 is an Administrator-ONLY function. Clicking the F6 field, or pressing [F6], invokes Broadcast (BRC) Mode. When this function is in effect, commands
sent from the console are broadcast to all available computers on the installation.
This function is particularly useful for operations that need to be performed on multiple computers, such as performing a system-wide shutdown,
installing or upgrading software, etc.
BRC works in conjunction with the F2 LIST function. The LIST function (see page 15) lets you tailor the list of ports the OSD will display on the OSD
Main Screen. When a command is broadcast, it is done only to the ports currently displayed on the OSD Main Screen.
• A Speaker symbol appears before the Port ID Display to indicate BRC Mode is in effect.
• The mouse will not function while the BRC Mode is in effect. You must exit the BRC Mode in order to regain control of the mouse.
• To exit BRC Mode, invoke the OSD (with the OSD hotkey), then click the F6 field, or press [F6].
