4.7 Logging on to the SmartView XPro

If password security has been set on the system then the following login menu will appear when the SmartView is switched on or when no user is currently logged in. The previous user may have activated the screen save function (screen blanking). If so, you may need to press a key before the login menu appears. Type in you user name and password to access the SmartView.

4.8 Keyboard hotkeys

SmartView XPro can be conveniently controlled using special keyboard hotkey combinations. These hotkey combinations can be used to select computer. All of the hotkey control commands are invoked by holding down the hotkeys and then pressing a command key. By default, the two hotkeys are ‘CTRL’ and ‘ALT’, although other combinations can be selected by reconfiguring the hotkeys (see section 3.6.3). Once the hotkey command has been activated you will need to release the hotkeys and the command key before a new hotkey command is accepted by the SmartView. HOTKEYs + TAB is an exception and this allows you to 'tab through' the ports by holding down the hotkeys and repeatedly pressing TAB.

The hotkey commands are summarised below (note that the numbers on the numeric keypad do not form part of a valid hotkey). The hotkeys will only select the requested channels if you have access rights to the requested channel.

Selecting computers using the hotkeys and the port number is most suitable for systems with small numbers of computers. For systems with more computers it is easier to use the on-screen menu for computer selection.
