Accessing the OSD at a Secondary Switch
Configuration of the switch system is accomplished at the primary switch. All
naming, scanning, status flag attributes, menu attributes, device settings,
passwords, and so on must be set at the primary switch. The factory defaults
for the OSD should not be changed in a secondary switch because adjustments
can cause conflicts between the secondary and primary switches.
Access OSD menus at the secondary switch to:
■ Check version information of your firmware
■ Set up broadcasting
■ Add another level of security in tiered configurations
■ Use Snapshot to save the hardware settings at the secondary switch
■ Reset mouse and keyboard information at the secondary switch
To open the Main screen at a secondary switch:
1. Press Print Scrn to open the Main screen at the primary switch.
2. Double-click the number of the tiered port you want to access, or
highlight the tiered port and press Print Scrn; the Main screen at the
secondary switch displays.
Switching Between Computers
Switching from one computer to another is a simple process with the Server
Console Switch. Switching disconnects the keyboard, mouse, and monitor
from one computer and connects them to another.
Whenever you switch between two computers, the Server Console Switch
reconfigures the keyboard and mouse using the settings stored in its memory.
For example, if the current computer selected has Caps Lock turned on, but
the user is switching to a second computer that has Caps Lock turned off, then
the unit turns Caps Lock off to match the setting for the second computer.
To switch computers:
1. Press Print Scrn to display the Main menu screen.
