3.6.10 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.

3.6.11 OSD DWELL TIME

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 & 10 secs.

3.6.12 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. The user timeout value also controls the timeout between the local and remote access points on user ports 1 and 3.

3.6.13 RS232 Mouse Type

Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES

Settings: INTELLIMOUSE, 2 BUTTON, 3 BUTTON

These setting control the type of RS232 mouse that the SmartView reports to computers. All the necessary conversions are dealt with automatically with the SmartView. The IntelliMouse setting sends four byte mouse reports to the computers and is therefore very slightly more sluggish than the others that send three byte mouse reports. RS232 mice are almost always more sluggish than PS/2 types because the data rate is much slower.
