Using the OSD
On-Screen Display
The On-Screen Display (OSD) is used with the 4-Port, 8-Port, and Dual Console
8-Port units. If a 2-Port console switch is being used, refer to Chapter 5, “Using the
Simplified OSD.”
Alternate Languages
The Compaq Server Console Switch Software Utility CD contains an update to the
OSD for languages other than English. Refer to the CD for information on using this
utility.
NOTE: Language selection is not available on the 2-Port console switch.
Functions
Use the OSD to perform the following basic functions:
• Assign device types if secondary console switches are attached to a primary
console switch (tiering)
• Assign unique names to computers
• Choose switch connection mode if using the Dual Console 8-Port console switch
