NTI UNIMUX SERIES USB KVM SWITCH

USER ACCESS FUNCTIONS

Introduction

The OSD menu enables a user to name the CPUs connected to the UNIMUX and connect to them using that name from a single
keyboard and mouse. The OSD is positioned on the user's monitor, displaying 8 CPU names at a time. The screen can be used
for switching as well as editing the CPUs’ names.

Through the OSD menu, the user can operate the UNIMUX to have the switch

cycle through 3 extended modes of operation: COMMAND, BROADCAST, and SCAN . Three LEDs on the front panel indicate
when these modes are enabled.
