Security

Settings: DISABLED, ENABLED

With security disabled there is no requirement for users to log-in to the system. All users have full access to all the connected computers and full administration rights. With security enabled, users are required to log-in to the SmartView World. Each user is allocated access rights to computers by the system administrator and they are only able to see the computers that they have access to on their on-screen menu.

Language

Settings: ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, SWEDISH

This option specifies the language that is used for the on-screen menu and the keyboard layout that is assumed for the keyboard. When the French option is selected the keyboard is assumed to have an AZERTY format. When the English, German and Swedish options are selected the keyboard is assumed to have a QWERTY format. The new language settings are enabled when you quit from the SETUP OPTIONS menu. The language option only affects the way that the SmartView World interprets the keyboard keys, it does not affect the way that the computers interpret the keyboard. It is advisable to avoid setting a language that you do not understand as all the menus will change to use the new language and you may have difficulty reselecting your original language.

Hotkeys

For example, pressing the hotkeys together with the “M” key will cause the on-screen menu to be displayed on your monitor. Other hotkey combinations allow you to query which computer you are connected to and to move the on-screen menu around the screen. You can also use the hotkeys together with the port number to select a particular connected computer.
