The configuration page settings are explained in the following table:

Function

 

 

 

 

OSD Hotkey

conflict with programs running on the computers, the default is the

 

Scroll Lock combination.

 

 

 

ID Display

Selects how the Port ID is displayed: the Port Number alone

 

(PORT NUMBER); the Port Name alone (PORT NAME); or the

 

Port Number plus the Port Name (PORT NUMBER + PORT

 

NAME). The default is PORT NUMBER + PORT NAME.

 

ID Duration

Determines how long a Port ID displays on the monitor after a port

 

change has taken place. You can choose an amount from 0–255

 

seconds; a setting of 0 constantly displays the port ID. The default

 

is 5 seconds.

(see Auto Scanning, page 39). Choices are: ALL - All the Ports

 

which have been set Accessible (see Port Access, page 45);

 

POWERED ON - Only those Ports which have been set

 

Accessible and are Powered On; QUICK VIEW - Only those Ports

 

which have been set Accessible and have been selected as Quick

 

View Ports (see Quick View Ports, page 30); QUICK VIEW +

 

POWERED ON - Only those Ports which have been set

 

Accessible and have been selected as Quick View Ports and are

 

Powered On. The default is ALL.

 

 

 

Scan Duration

Determines how long the focus dwells on each port as it cycles

 

through the selected ports in Auto Scan Mode (see Auto

 

Scanning, page 39). Key in a value from 1–255 seconds. The

 

default is 10 seconds; a setting of 0 disables the Scan function.

 

 

 

Screen Blanker

If there is no input from the console for the amount of time set with

 

this function, the screen is blanked. Key in a value from 1–30

 

minutes. The default setting of 0 disables this function.

 

 

 

Logout Timeout

If there is no user input for the amount of time set with this

 

function, the user is automatically logged out. A login is necessary

 

before the KH2508 / KH2516 can be accessed again. Enter a

 

value from 0–180 minutes. The default is 30 minutes.

 

0 disables the function.

 

 

 

Beeper

When set to ON, the beeper sounds whenever a port is changed,

 

when activating the Auto Scan function (see Auto Scanning,

 

page 39), or an invalid entry is made in an OSD menu. The

 

default is ON.

 

 

 

Change Password

Allows the current user to change his own account password.

 

After clicking the Change Password button, a dialog box appears.

 

Enter the old password. Then, enter a new password and confirm

 

it by entering it again. Press OK to save changes, or press Cancel

 

to discard changes.
