Global Preferences (continued)
OSD Dwell Time
Settings: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 SECONDS
After a successful computer channel change the SC5 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 both a local and remote user wish to use the system, only one can have
access at any one time. When no keyboard or mouse data has been received
from the active user port for the user timeout period, the SC5 will allow the
other user to access the 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. The user timeout value also controls the timeout between the local
port and remote (extended) user port 1.
