WARNING - Many modern monitors are fitted with automatic power save relays and will switch off after a few seconds if connected to an inactive PC. If you are using such a monitor you must not set the SmartView to scan ALL ports. Constant switching on and off of your monitor's relay will eventually damage your monitor.

3.6.9 AUTOSCAN TIME

Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES

Settings: DISABLED; 2, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30 SECONDS

The autoscan time defines the length of time that the SmartView will display video from an autoscanned computer before changing to the next computer. If the DISABLED setting is chosen then no autoscan functions will be available.

Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES

Settings: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 SECONDS

After a successful computer channel change the SmartView will display a confirmation message for a few seconds. The length of time that this confirmation message dwells on the screen may be changed. Options are 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 seconds.

3.6.11 USER TIMEOUT

Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES

Settings: 2, 5, 10, 30 SECONDS; 1, 5, 10 MINUTES

When two users are connected to the same computer 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 SmartView will allow other users 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.
