Figure 5-3: Advanced Menus, Setup
The Simplified OSD Advanced Menus screen is displayed showing the commands
listed under the Commands menu. Highlighting Setup shows screen selections
available for configuring the console switch. Moving the highlight with the arrow
keys or mouse in either menu selects a specific command or menu screen.
NOTE: Broadcast is not an available option for the 2-Port console switch.
Exiting the Simplified OSD
To exit the Simplified OSD, press the Esc key.
Selecting Computers
Use the Simplified OSD menus to switch computers, that is, to select which computer
receives commands from and displays output to the console. When the user selects a
computer, the console switch reconfigures the keyboard and mouse for the selected
computer using the settings stored in its memory. The current information (for
example, the state of the Caps Lock key) is maintained for each computer in the
system. When configuration is complete, the video output of the selected computer
passes to the monitor.
