Chapter 6. The User Interface

Port Operation

Select a port on the OSD Main Screen either by moving the highlight bar to it

with the Up and Down Arrow keys and pressing Enter, or by double-clicking

it. Once you select a port, its screen displays on you monitor, and your

keyboard and mouse input affects the remote system.

The OSD Toolbar

The OSD provides a toolbar to help you control the KN2108 / KN2116 from

within the captured port. Depending on which method you used to log in, the

toolbar differs slightly (See note 2, below). To bring up the toolbar, tap the

OSD Hotkey twice (Scroll Lock or Ctrl). The toolbar appears at the upper left

corner of the screen:

Local OSD

Remote OSD

Depending on the settings that were selected under ID Display (see page 109),

the Port Number and/or the Port Name display at the right of the toolbar.

Note: 1. When the toolbar displays, mouse input is confined to the toolbar area

and keyboard input has no effect. To carry out operations on the

computer connected to the port, close the toolbar by clicking the X on

it; or, recall the OSD and select the port again.

2. The Local OSD toolbar exclusively has the Switch Opaque/

Transparent function; the Remote OSD toolbar exclusively has the

Panel Array Mode function. See the icons in the table on the

following page for details.

Recalling the OSD

To dismiss the toolbar and bring back the OSD display (the Main,

Configuration, and Administration pages), do one of the following:

 tap the OSD Hotkey once;

 or, from the toolbar click the icon that brings up the OSD (see page 80).

The OSD Toolbar closes, and the main OSD display reappears.
