Global Preferences - ADDER AdderView CATxIP 5000 User Manual

Global Preferences

Global preferences are available only to
the Admin user and allow settings to be
made that affect all users attached to the
AdderView CATxIP 5000.
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 AdderView CATxIP 5000 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 AdderView CATxIP 5000 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 AdderView CATxIP 5000 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 AdderView CATxIP 5000 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.
