OSD Dwell Time

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

After a successful computer channel change the AdderView CATx 1000 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 AdderView CATx 1000 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.
