26        HMX Extender System Installer/User Guide

Depending on your configuration, turning on an HMX user station will automatically initiate a 
connection with the remote workstation or display a user login. Once you are connected, a series of 
messages will be displayed on the screen to inform you of the progress of the connection. You will 
be able to interact with the remote workstation as if it were located at your desk.

NOTE: If the remote workstation has been turned off, the HMX user station cannot establish a connection. 

The HMX user station incorporates an OSD that allows you to view information about the 
configuration of your system in Desktop Mode or Extender Mode.

 If you are in Extender Mode, or 

in Desktop Mode as an administrator or a user with configuration rights, the OSD also allows for 
setting network parameters such as the IP address.

The OSD enables you to display the firmware release of the user station and the transmitter. For 
optimum performance, keep your firmware current. The OSD also enables you to view the IP 
address and MAC address of both the HMX user station and transmitter.
