the port has the KVM focus. The OSD (see page 23) automatically switches to

on the CS-1754 / CS-1758 Station that connects directly to the
computer you want to access.

1754) or 7 and 8 (for the CS-1758) on the First Stage unit initiates the
Auto Scan feature (see F7 SCAN, page 32), in which all the ports
currently selected for Quick View scanning (see SET QUICK VIEW
PORTS, page 31), are cycled through. The length of time spent on
each port is determined with the Scan Duration setting under the
OSD's F3 SET function (see SCAN DURATION, page 28).
OSD
OSD (On Screen Display), provides a menu driven interface to handle the
computer switching procedure to provide instant access to any computer on the
installation. OSD operation is discussed in detail beginning on page 23.
Hotkey
Hotkeys allow you to conveniently provide KVM focus to a particular
computer from the keyboard, instead of having to manually select them by
pressing Port Selection switches. Hotkey operation is discussed in detail
beginning on page 35.
