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.
