2.4 Firmware
On Screen Display (OSD) - Firmware Option
The X4 Configurator can be accessed and controlled via an OSD (on-screen display) technology. The
X4 Configurator software can be installed on a designated OOB (out-of-band) PC which users can
access from their workstation. A preconfigured hot-key sequence will deliver the X4 Configurator GUI
straight to the user’s desktop monitor. The user can then select the defined sources and destinations
that they wish to connect. While a user is making the connections, they have exclusive use of the OOB
PC. Once they have completed their connections the OOB PC becomes available for the next user. The
OOB PC that has the X4 Configurator loaded on it has a built in time out function, therefore the PC
cannot be taken out of service for an extended period of time. The time outs can be set in increments of
one second. Typical time outs are in the order of 10 seconds.
