Chapter 4. OSD Operation

ŠThe Timeout field sets a time threshold for users on ports whose Operation Mode has been set to Occupy (see Occupy, page 54). If there is no activity from the user occupying the port for the amount of time set here, the user is timed out and keyboard and mouse control on the port is released, after which the first user to send keyboard or mouse input will occupy the port. However, the user originally connected to the port will still see the port’s video output.

Input a value from 0 to 255 seconds. The default is 60 seconds. A setting of 0 causes the port to be released the instant there is no input.

1.Double-click an attribute on a port to change it.
