Global Preferences
Global preferences are available only to the
Admin user and allow settings to be made
that affect all users attached to the SC5-4xIP.
To get here
1 From a local keyboard, log on as the
'admin' user.
2 Press
(hotkeys can change).
3 Press
to show the Main Menu.
4 Select 'Global Preferences' and press
Mouse Switching
Settings: Enabled, Disabled
The computer channel can be switched using a three button mouse or
IntelliMouse. Pressing the central button or wheel button together with the
left hand mouse button will cause the SC5-4xIP to switch to the next available
computer.
When mouse switching is enabled, you can still use the middle button on its
own to control applications. Only when its pressed with the left or right button
is it interpreted by mouse switching, otherwise it is passed on to the host
application. The rotation action of an IntelliMouse wheel is not affected and is
always available to the computer application.
Screen Saver
Settings: Disabled; 2, 5, 10,15 or 20 Minutes
The SC5-4xIP can be set to blank the screen after no keyboard or mouse activity
has been detected for a selected timeout period. If preferred, the user can blank
the screen manually by selecting channel '0' using the keyboard hotkeys or by
pressing ESC from the login screen.
.
OSD Dwell Time
Settings: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 Seconds
After a successful computer channel change the SC5-4xIP will display a
confirmation message for a few seconds. The length of time that this
confirmation message dwells on the screen may be changed.
User Timeout
Settings: 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 Seconds, 1, 5, 10 Minutes
When no keyboard or mouse data has been received from an active user port for
the user timeout period, the SC5-4xIP will relinquish the control of that user port
in order to allow other users to access the host computer. The new port then
becomes the active port until it too times out. To avoid confusion between users
it is desirable to set the timeout period to be sufficiently long so that user's work
is not needlessly interrupted by other users and sufficiently short to ensure good
overall system efficiency.
