6.5 User Station Profile

Administrators can select option 4 at the Administration Menu to bring up the User Station Profile, shown in Figure 6-7. They can use this menu to set the global keyboard type and video delay.

The Summit’s OSUI supports three types of keyboard mappings: You can select either “English” (U.S. English, the default), “French,” or “German”. If you want to use a non-English keyboard at your user station, temporarily attach an English- language keyboard; use any of its arrow keys to move the highlight to the “Keyboard Type” field, press [Enter] to turn the highlight green, use any of the arrow keys to toggle the field to the correct keyboard type, and press [Enter] again to select it. You can now swap in the type of keyboard you want to use.

If your monitor is doing too much switching between resolutions (or is taking too long to sync up, if it’s an LCD monitor) when you scan or switch channels on the Summit, you can set a video delay for channel switching at your user station: If you set the video delay to any number of seconds greater than zero, the Summit will wait until a video signal is constant for that number of seconds before passing it through to the monitor. To do this, use any of the arrow keys to move the highlight to the “Video delay--switching” field, press [Enter] to turn the highlight green, type in the desired two-digit delay from 00 to 30 seconds (or use the up- and down-arrow keys to increment or decrement the field by 1 until you reach your desired value), and press [Enter] again to select it.

When you finish making any changes to either of these values, press “S” to save the changes to nonvolatile memory, or press [Esc] to abort them. The changes are applied only to your user station (the one from which the change was made).
