SERVSWITCH™ SUMMIT

•Display Position: Use this parameter to move the OSUI menus and ID Display to the desired position on your monitor screen. First move the highlight to “Menu” (for the OSUI) or “ID” (for the ID Display, which will pop up if it’s not already on screen while the OSUI temporarily disappears) and press [Enter] to highlight it, then use the arrow keys to move the chosen window as desired: the left-arrow key to move the whole window to the left, for example. When you’re finished, press [Enter] to save the change.

•Previous Channel Key: The keyboard key that, when quickly pressed twice, causes the Summit to switch back to the previously selected channel without going through the OSUI, provided that that channel is still available. The six alternatives are [Scroll Lock], [Caps Lock], [Num Lock] (the default), left [Shift], left [Alt], and “None” (no Previous Channel Key—disables this function); use any of the arrow keys to switch between them. You can’t select the key that’s currently being used as the hotkey (see the earlier Hotkey entry).

•Help: This parameter determines the format of the help message at the bottom of each OSUI menu. It’s always set to “Single Line”; it can’t be selected or altered.

•Local PC: Use any of the arrow keys to toggle Local PC Mode on or off (the default) for the attached USM. Only turn this on if you’ve used a KV1519A CIM to attach a local PC between the USM and the Base Unit; see Appendix C for more information.

You can also change your password (or delete or reinstate it if “Allow Blank Password” is set to “yes”—see Section 6.2) while the User Profile Menu is on screen by pressing “P” to bring up a prompt window. Type your old password at the first prompt. At the next prompt, type a new password up to eight characters long and press [Enter] (or just press [Enter] without typing anything in the field to delete your password). Confirm the new password by typing it in again at the third prompt; either press [Enter] to save the new password or [Esc] to abort the change and continue using the old password.

NOTES

Be careful when you change your password! If you forget or lose it, administrators have no way of recovering or erasing it for you—your account will have to be deleted and recreated.
