OSD Main Screen
After the log in, a screen similar to the one 
at right  appears:
1.  The diagram depicts the administrator’s 
main screen. The user main screen 
does not show the F4 and F6 functions 
because these are reserved for the 
administrator and can’t be accessed by 
users.
2.  The OSD always starts in list view, with 
the highlight bar at the same position it 
was in the last time it was closed.
3.  Only the ports that have been set 
accessible by the administrator for the 
current logged in user are visible.
4.  If there is a   next to the monitor icon, 
which means that port is attached to 
another KVM (Cascading). Click on a 
switch number, or move the highlight 
bar to it then press the right arrow key 
to expand the list. Similarly, to collapse 
a switch’s port list, click on the switch 
number, or move the highlight bar to it 
then press the left arrow key to collapse 
the list.

The OSD of GCS1108 / GCS1208 incorporates a two level (administrator and user) password 
system. Before the OSD main screen displays, a login screen appears requiring a password. If 
this is the first time that the OSD is used, or if the password function has not been set, simply
press [Enter]. The OSD main screen displays in administrator mode. In this mode, you have 
administrator privileges, with access to all administrator and user functions, and can set up 
operations (including password authorization) as you like. If the password function has been set, 
you must provide an appropriate administrator/user password in order to access the OSD.
