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

 

port change has taken place. You can choose an amount from

 

1—255 seconds. The default is 3 Seconds. A setting of 0 (zero)

 

means the Port ID is always on.

through the selected ports in Auto Scan Mode (see Auto

 

Scanning, page 158). Key in a value from 1—255 seconds. The

 

default is 5 seconds; a setting of 0 disables the Scan function.
