Instruction Manual

Function key : To lock a device (a computer or a slave) from

unauthorized access, use Security. Security is

effective for only one device (a computer or a slave).

To lock a device Use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow

keys to highlight it, then press <F3>. Now, enter up to

4 characters (‘A’~’Z’, ‘0’~’9’, ‘-’) followed by <ENTER> as

new password. A Security enabled device is marked

with a lock (Ï ) following its channel number. To

permanently disable the security function from a

locked device, highlight it, press <F3> then enter

the password.
If you want to access the locked device

temporarily, simply highlight it and press <ENTER>,

the OSD will ask you for the password. After entering

the correct password, you are allowed to use the

device. This device is automatically re-locked once

you switch to another port. During Scan mode, OSD

skips the security-enabled device.
NOTE: If you forget the password, the only way to permanently erase all of the

passwords is to press and hold the 1 and 2 front panel buttons, then hold 7 and 8.

Release 7 and 8, then release 1 and 2.
Function key : More functions are available by hitting <F4>. A new

screen pops up displaying more functions as

described below. Most of them are marked with a

triangle (

►) indicating there are options to choose

from. Using the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys,

select the functions and press <ENTER>. Available

options will be shown in the middle of the screen.

Again, use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys to

view options then press <ENTER> to make your

selection. You can press <ESCAPE> to exit.
Function Key : To switch the Sun mark of a port on or off indicating

Switch starts to translate the keys from a PC

keyboard to a Sun keyboard. See the section entitled

Sun Keyboard Mapping for further detail.
