CHAPTER 5: User Functions

•ID Display: The ID Display is a small window that can pop up on screen to show you the name and ID of each channel as you switch between them or scan them. You can edit the two fields of this parameter to determine how the system will show you this window:

–Possible values in the first field are “On” (ID Display is shown, the default value) and “Off” (ID Display isn’t shown). Use any of the arrow keys to toggle between these values.

–If the ID Display is set to “On,” the number in the second field is how many seconds it will stay on screen. Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a two- digit number of seconds from 01 to 24, or use the up- and down-arrow keys to increment and decrement the current value by 1 respectively. If you type in a number greater than 24, the second field will be filled with a “- -”, indicating that the ID Display will be shown at all times. The default setting is 03. If the ID Display is set to “Off,” the number in this field will have no effect.

The setting of this parameter also controls whether and for how long the Public View Mode message boxes are displayed on screen (see Section 5.2).

•Green Mode: A “power-saving mode” that blanks the monitor screen if the user station is idle (no keyboard or mouse activity) for the specified amount of time. You can edit the two fields of this parameter to determine how the system handles this feature:

–Possible values in the first field are “On” (Green Mode is enabled and the screen is blanked after a period of inactivity) and “Off” (Green Mode is disabled and the screen displays normal video indefinitely). Use any of the arrow keys to toggle between these values.

–If Green Mode is set to “On,” the number in the second field is how many minutes of inactivity must elapse before it’s triggered and the screen is blanked. Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a two-digit number of minutes from 01 to 99, or use the up- and down-arrow keys to increment and decrement the current value by 1 respectively. The default setting is 05. If Green Mode is set to “Off,” the number in this field will have no effect.

•Hotkey: The keyboard key that, when quickly pressed twice, activates the OSUI. The five alternatives are [Scroll Lock] (the default), [Caps Lock], [Num Lock], left [Shift], and left [Alt]; use any of the arrow keys to switch between them. You can’t select the key that’s currently being used as the Previous Channel Key (see the Previous Channel Key entry on the next page).
