Configuration
You can alter the way that the X2 Dual Access modules operate to suit your requirements. This is done using the Configuration mode and you can affect the following settings:
•Password setting – allows you to lock the remote module to prevent unauthorised system access.
•Mouse restoration and settings – allows you to restore mouse operation and also to change the mouse type.
•Image controls - sharpness & brightness – allows you to manually adjust the video image to ensure that it is crisp and bright.
•Skew adjustment – allows you to manually compensate for possible video errors introduced by long, uneven cable connections.
•Miscellaneous functions – report firmware version and restore settings.
