KH1508i / KH1516i User Manual

Timeout

The Timeout setting applies to ports with the Occupy I/O attribute. It controls the amount of time (0-255 seconds) that elapses before an inactive user is timed out when other users are waiting to take control of the port. Once the first user becomes inactive (i.e. stops sending keyboard and mouse input), it begins to countdown the amount of time specified in the Timeout field. If the user does not send input before the time expires, that user is timed out and the port is released. The next user to send mouse or keyboard input gains control of the port.

To apply Timeout settings:

1.Click Attributes... on the Customization dialog box. The Setting I/O Attributes dialog box appears (see I/O Modules, page 81).

2.In the Timeout field, enter the Timeout time in seconds.

3.Click Apply. (To exit without saving your changes, click Cancel.)

Note: The Timeout setting applies to all ports on the KH1508i / KH1516i.

Parameter

Explanation

 

 

Reset on Exit

Place a check here to have the KH1508i / KH1516i reset itself and

 

implement all the new settings when you log out. Following the

 

reset, wait approximately 30 to 60 seconds before logging back in.

 

Note: For some changes the Reset on exit check box is

 

automatically selected and the KVM switch will reset when you log

 

out. Clearing the check mark before logging out will cause the new

 

settings to be discarded.

 

 

Reset Values

Clicking this button undoes all changes that have been made to the

 

Configuration and Administration pages (except for the Port Names

 

that were assigned to the Ports) and returns the parameters to the

 

original factory default settings (see OSD Factory Default Settings,

 

page 152).

 

 

Clear Name List

This function clears the Port Name settings.
