CS1708i / CS1716i User Manual

F4: ADM

F4 is an administrator only function. It allows the administrator to configure
and control the overall operation of the OSD. To change a setting double-click
it, or use the up and down arrow keys to move the highlight bar to it then press
[Enter].
After you select an item, a submenu with further choices to select from appears.
Double-click an item, or move the highlight bar to it then press [Enter]. An
icon appears before the selected item so that you know which one it is. The
settings are explained in the following table:
Setting
SET IP
ADDRESS
SET LOGOUT
TIMEOUT
EDIT PORT
NAMES
34
This entry allows you to select whether to assign the CS1708i /
CS1716i's IP address dynamically (DHCP), or to give it a fixed IP
address. Press [Space] to toggle between the choices.
If you toggle DHCP Enable to Off, specify the IP, Mask, and
Gateway in the appropriate fields. (Methods to determine the
CS1708i / CS1716i's IP address are described in the Appendix on
page 179.)
Press [Esc] to exit after you have finished with your choice.
If there is no input from the console for the amount of time set with
this function, the Operator is automatically logged out. A login is
necessary before the console can be used again.
This enables other Operators to gain access to the computers
when the original Operator is no longer accessing them, but has
forgotten to log out. To set the timeout value, key in a number from
0–180 minutes, then press [Enter]. If the number is 0 (zero), this
function is disabled. Default is 0 (disabled).
To help remember which computer is attached to a particular port,
every port can be given a name. This function allows the
administrator to create, modify, or delete port names.
To edit a port name:
1. Click the port, or use the navigation keys to move the highlight
bar to it, then press [Enter].
2. Key in the new port name, or modify/delete the old one. The
maximum number of characters allowed for the port name is 12.
Legal characters include:

All alpha characters: A–Z

All numeric characters: 0–9

- and Space
Case does not matter; OSD displays the port name in all
capitals no matter how they were keyed in.
3. When you have finished editing, press [Enter] to have the
change take effect. To abort the change, press [Esc].
