USING OSCAR

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.

Note

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.

—or—

Press F10 to restore default settings.

—or—

Press ESC to exit the menu without saving the settings.

Display of the Selection screen is delayed after PRINT SCRN is

pressed. Increasing delay can prevent the screen from being a

distraction when performing simple computer switching opera-

tions.
