w F8 LOUT:
LOUT (Log out) logs you out of OSD control of the computers, and
blanks the Console screen. After using this function you must log in
all over again to regain access to the OSD.
This is different from simply pressing [Esc] when you are at the Main
Screen to deactivate the OSD, where all you have to do to reenter
the OSD is tap the OSD Hotkey.
Note: 1. When you reenter the OSD after logging out, the screen
stays blank except for the OSD Main Menu. You must input
your password before you can continue.
2. If you reenter the OSD after logging out, and immediately
use [Esc] to deactivate the OSD without having selected a
port from the OSD menu, a Null Port message displays on
the screen. The OSD Hotkey will bring up the Main OSD
Screen.
