Unit configuration
This page provides access to a selection of both basic and fundamental settings
for the iPEPS. Many of the settings displayed here are also accessible through the
on-screen menu on the locally attached keyboard, mouse and monitor.
Unit Name
The name entered here will be displayed on the local menus and the remote
VNC viewer/browser windows.
Local Hot Key Sequence
Use the arrow buttons to select an appropriate hot key sequence for the locally
connected keyboard. This sequence is used in combination with other keypresses
to access the on-screen menus. The options are: Ctrl+Alt (default), Ctrl+Shift,
Alt+Shift, Alt Gr, Left + Right Alt, Left Ctrl + Alt or Right Ctrl + Alt.
Screensaver Timeout
Use the arrow keys to select an appropriate period of inactivity before a
screensaver is displayed and the user is logged out. This setting applies to local
users only and once the screensaver is displayed, for security purposes the
user is required to log in again. The timeout period can be selected between 5
minutes and 1 day (24 hours) or you can choose the OFF setting to disable the
screensaver feature.
Encryption
Three options are available: Always on, prefer off, prefer on. The one to choose
depends on the specific details of your installation - see Encryption settings for
details. The use of encryption imposes a slight performance overhead of roughly
10% but is highly secure against third party intrusion.
