This KVM Switch has on-screen display (OSD) features for switching between servers and managing server connections. You can navigate through the OSD menus using a function key, and you can also use the OSD interface to view each port's connection status, lock a server from unauthorized access, and even assign server names that are up to 14 characters long. The switch will store all the name entries in non-volatile memory.
