3.3 OSD Setup Page

The OSD Setup Page allows you to configure the settings of the KVM switch, and to enable/disable password security. The settings in the OSD
Setup Page are described in the following sections.

3.3.1 Auto Logout

The Auto Logout setting allows you to determine the amount of inactivity time required before the user is logged out of the KVM switch and required to
enter a password to regain access. An Auto Logout is only performed when out of the OSD and accessing a connected computer. It does not apply when
the user is inside the OSD. To edit the Auto Logout setting, highlight it and use the [←] and [→] keys to set a value between 00 and 99 minutes, in which a
setting of 00 disables the feature. Once entered, press the [Enter] key to save the setting. The Auto Logout setting is disabled (00) by default. Note: The Auto
Logout function will not work unless the Password feature is enabled.

3.3.2 OSD Timeout

The OSD Timeout setting allows you to determine the amount of inactivity time that must pass until the OSD is closed. This feature simply closes the OSD,
and does not log you out. To edit the OSD Timeout setting, highlight it and use the [←] and [→] keys to set a value between 00 and 95 seconds (at intervals
of 5), in which a setting of 00 disables the feature. Once entered, press the [Enter] key to save the setting. The OSD Timeout setting is set at 30 seconds by
default.

3.3.3 Auto Scan Period

The Auto Scan Period setting determines the amount of time an Auto Scan spends on a port before it continues to the next port. To edit the Auto Scan Period
setting, highlight it and use the [←] and [→] keys to set a value between 5 and 95 seconds (at intervals of 5). Once entered, press the [Enter] key to save the
setting. The Auto Scan Period setting is set at 10 seconds by default.

3.3.4 Title Bar

The Title Bar is the indicator that appears on the screen to let you know which port you are accessing. This setting allows the user to choose between the 5
options listed: Disable – The Title Bar does not show up at all. Left – The Title Bar is displayed in the top-left of the screen, and does not disappear. Right
– The Title Bar is displayed in the top-right of the screen, and does not disappear. Left
- The Title Bar is displayed in the top-left of the screen, and it
disappears after 5 seconds. Right

highlight the Title Bar setting and use the [←] and [→] keys to toggle between them. When you have selected the desired option, press the [Enter] key.

3.3.5 Hotkey

The Hotkey setting allows you to set the preceding hotkey sequence to [Scroll Lock], [Caps Lock], [Num Lock] or [F12]. To switch the preceding hotkey,
highlight this setting and use the [←] and [→] keys to toggle between the options. Press the [Enter] key to save the preceding hotkey choice. This setting
defaults at [Scroll Lock].

3.3.6 Password

The Password setting allows you to enable/disable password security. When enabled, a password is required to access the KVM switch once the user is
logged out. To change this setting, highlight it and press the [Enter] key. A prompt will appear asking if you want to enable the password. Yes enables
the password and No disables it. When enabling the password, you will be asked to enter a new password, and then enter it again to confirm it. Once
enabled, the password entered here is required to gain access to the KVM switch when a user has been logged out. To disable password security, you will
be prompted to enter the previous password. Once the previous password is entered correctly, the password feature is disabled. This feature is disabled by
default.
