Switching computers
1.
If your computers are ordered by the number of the port, in the
Simplified OSD Selection screen, type the port number of the computer
you want to switch to.
or
Use the arrow keys or mouse to select a computer.
or
If your computers are ordered by name, type the first letters of the
computer name to establish it as unique in order to select it. To identify
computers by name, see the section, “Assigning Unique Names to
Computers.”
2.
Press Enter.
3.
When you are finished switching, press Esc to exit the Simplified OSD
and remove the Simplified OSD menus from your monitor display. If
the status flag is enabled, it remains displayed to indicate the currently
selected computer.
Assigning Unique Names to Computers
You may find it easier to identify the computers in a system by name, rather
than by port number. For example, in a network environment, you can assign
the same names as those assigned by the network for each computer. To list
the computers by name in the Simplified OSD menus, see the section,
“Changing Menu Attributes.”
NOTE:
Before you can assign names to computers attached to a secondary switch, you
must first associate the secondary device with a port. See the section, “Assigning Specific
Device Types.”
