26 HMX Extender System Installer/User Guide
Accessing the System
Depending on your configuration, turning on an HMX user station will automatically initiate a
connection with the remote workstation or display a user login. Once you are connected, a series of
messages will be displayed on the screen to inform you of the progress of the connection. You will
be able to interact with the remote workstation as if it were located at your desk.
NOTE: If the remote workstation has been turned off, the HMX user station cannot establish a connection.
OSD functions
The HMX user station incorporates an OSD that allows you to view information about the
configuration of your system in Desktop Mode or Extender Mode.The OSD also allows for setting
network parameters such as the IP address.
Displaying system information using the OSD
The OSD enables you to display the firmware release of the user station and the transmitter. For
optimum performance, keep your firmware current. The OSD also enables you to view the IP
address and MAC address of both the HMX user station and transmitter.
