Alternate OSD Key

This function enables the administrator to assign a key in addition to the <

> (accent/tilde key) to use with <

Ctr

l> to enter into

OSD Command Mode. The default factory setting for this option is “Accent“ (disabling the option).

To assign an Alternate OSD key press <

> from the System Configuration Menu. (From Command Mode type <

>-<

>.)

An edit field will open displaying the current value. Type a key to be used with the <

Ctrl

> key to open command mode. Re-

enter <`> (accent/tilde key) to disable the feature.

FYI: The Alternate Command Hot Key does not replace the <`> (accent) key, it just works as an additional way to enter
into Command Mode. After setting it, the user can enter into Command Mode either with + <`> or with +
combination.

Configure DDC-Auto Detect Resolutions

DDC information allows the CPU to automatically select the optimal resolution for the monitor by receiving, at power up,
information from the monitor concerning its resolution specifications.

The DDC information is acquired from the monitor by the PRIMUX

. A monitor with DDC support must be connected to the

connector "MONITOR" on the User Station and be powered ON for this to occur

. The DDC information will be sent to the

selected powered Host Adapter to be retrieved by its connected CPU.

Note: The CPU connected to the Host Adapter must be powered up to receive the DDC information.

DDC information is automatically acquired from the monitor by the User Station. To send DDC information to a powered Host
Adapter, press <

> from the System Configuration Menu. (From Command Mode type <

>-<

>.)
