select it. Or, you may press <ESCAPE> 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. The <ENTER> key brings you one level down and another screen pops
up listing the names of the computers on that Slave. The name of the Slave will be
shown at the upper right corner of the OSD menu. It is useful to group computers and
still be able to see the group name.
An eye mark (

) to the right of a name indicates the computer is selected to be
monitored in Scan mode. In OSD, this mark can be switched on or off by function key
<F2>. Press the <ESCAPE> key to exit OSD and to return to the selected computer; the
computer name is also shown on the screen.
Function key <F1> - To edit the name entry of a computer or a Slave, first use the
<> and <> arrow keys to highlight a port then press <F1> followed by name entry.
Valid characters are ‘A’~’Z’, ‘0’~’9’ and the dash (-) character. Lowercase letters are
converted to uppercase ones. Press <BACKSPACE> to delete one letter at a time.
Non-volatile memory stores all name entries until you change, even if the unit is powered
down.
Function key <F2> - Use this key to switch the eye mark (

) of a computer on or off.
First, use the <> and <> arrow keys to highlight it, then press <F2> to switch its eye
mark on or off. If Scan Type reads 'Ready PC +

', only the power-on and eye mark
selected computers will be displayed sequentially in Scan mode.
Function key <F3> - To lock a device (a computer or a Slave) from unauthorized access,
use Security. Security is effective for only one device (a computer or a Slave). To lock a
device, use the <> and <> arrow keys to highlight it, then press <F3>. Now, enter up
to 4 characters (‘A’~’Z’, ‘0’~‘9’, ‘-‘) followed by <ENTER> as new password. A Security-
enabled device is marked with a lock (

)following its port number. To permanently
disable the security function from a locked device, highlight it, press <F3> then enter the
password.
If you want to access the locked device temporarily, simply highlight it and press
<ENTER>. The OSD will prompt for the password. After entering the correct password,
you are allowed to use the device. This device is automatically re-locked once you switch
to another one. During Scan mode, OSD skips the security-enabled device. Note: Only
one device (a computer or a Slave) can be locked by this function at a time.
Please note: If you forget the password, the only way to
permanently disable the security function is to remove all possible
power sources from the Console. You will need to turn off all
computers and unplug all power adapters, then restart everything.
