Operating Your KVM Switch To toggle between computers, you can use the hot-key commands, OSD (On-Screen Display) menu or by using the push buttons built into the 1UCABCONS series LCD Rack Console.

Or, you may press to exit the OSD and remove the OSD menu from the display; the status window returns to the display and indicates the currently selected computer or operating status. A triangle mark ( ►) to the right of a name indicates the port is cascaded to a Slave; the number at the left of the triangle mark shows the number of ports the Slave has (i.e. 8 for an 8-port switch).
Non-volatile memory stores all name entries until you change, even if the unit is powered down.
