Basic Operation
Port Selection
KH1508Ai / KH1516Ai installations provide three methods to obtain instant
access to any computer in your installation: Manual, OSD, and Hotkey.
Manual
For manual port selection, simply press the Port Switch that corresponds to the
device you wish to access.
OSD / GUI
The KH1508Ai / KH1516Ai provides menu driven interfaces to the computer
switching procedure. There are two systems: A text-based OSD when you log
in from a local console; and a graphical user interface (GUI) when you log in
remotely over the internet or locally via a Laptop console. Local console OSD
operation is discussed in the next chapter; GUI operation is discussed from
Chapter 5 onwards for Internet browser, Laptop, and Windows and Java logins.
Keyboard Hotkeys
Hotkeys allow you to conveniently provide KVM focus to a particular
computer from the local console keyboard, instead of having to manually select
them by pressing Port Selection switches. See Hotkey Port Control, page 38,
for details.
