Chapter 4. OSD Operation
37
F8: LOUT
Clicking the F8 field, or pressing [F8], logs you out of the OSD and blanks the
console screen. This is different from simply deactivating the OSD when you
are at the Main Screen by pressing [Esc].
With this function you must log in all over again to regain access to the OSD,
whereas with [Esc], 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 login dialog box. You must input your username and
password before you can continue (see page 23). If login has been
disabled by the administrator (see page 33), the F8 function is also
disabled.
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 OSD Main Screen.
