CHANGING MENU ATTRIBUTES

On the OSCAR Attributes screen, you can change the display order of computer ports to port number or port name. Other attributes of OSCAR screens, such as the position and color, can be changed to suit the particular needs of the user.

To change menu attributes:

1On the Advanced Menus screen, highlight the Setup menu.

2Highlight OSCAR and press ENTER. The OSCAR Attributes screen appears.

3Highlight the settings you want to change and use the + or – key to obtain the desired value.

As you select different values, the effect of the changes is reflected immediately on the display. The table, Screen Appearance Settings, describes each of the available menu attributes.

While changing OSCAR attributes, it is possible to scramble the menu and screens, making it difficult to correct the problem. If this occurs, reset the switch to its default OSCAR values by pressing: ESC + ESC + PRINT SCRN + F10 + Y + ENTER

4Press ESC to save the settings and exit the menu.
