Configuring the DIP Switch
The DIP switch is used to configure three different features: video options and
sync, keyboard/mouse time-out and keyboard translation options. The diagram
below shows the DIP switch, the positions used to configure each of these
features, and the default settings.
Reserved
Video Options
If your monitor supports the type of sync generated by your Macintosh, no
configuration is required. If your monitor supports only horizontal and vertical
sync, locate the type of sync generated by your Mac in the table below and
configure your system accordingly.
By default, a computer's video will be displayed for any console user that switches
to that channel. If you do not want a computer's video to be displayed, you can
disable the video for that channel. Additionally, if you are only running your
keyboard and mouse through the XP4000 Series unit, and your video is independent
of the system, select the option to disable the video. See the table below.

Video Sync - XPAB only
Your XPAB card will attempt to automatically detect the sync for your
monitor. In some unique instances it will obtain the opposite of the settings.
Switching S7 to the on position will correct, this. See the table below.
Switch 7
Keyboard/Mouse Time-out
While multiple consoles can view a computer's video at once, only one station
has keyboard and mouse control at a time. The amount of time that a console's
keyboard and mouse must be inactive before another console can take control
is called the time-out. See the table below for the configurable time-outs.
