The Port Setup menu allows users to change several options for each port. To change the server port name, use the up and down arrow keys to move the highlight bar to the desired server port, and press <ENTER> to select that server port for change. The user may enter the new server port name once the highlight bar changes to show only the server port name. The new server port name overwrites the old server port name; if the new server port name is shorter than the old name, then the user must erase the remaining characters by pressing delete. Press the <ENTER> key after typing the new server port name to change the name, or press <ESC> to discard the change and exit back to the Port Setup menu.

3.5.2 Toggle Inactive Message on LCD

If the ServerSwitch detects that there is no power from the attached servers on the keyboard/mouse lines, or if no server is present, then the ServerSwitch will indicate that port as inactive on the front panel LCD. The user may want to prevent this message from appearing on the front panel to reduce possible confusion. In the port setup menu, move the highlight bar to the port and press F8 to toggle the inactive message on or off. If the message is on, a + will appear next to the port name; if it is off, a will appear next to the port name. All ports have the inactive message enabled by default.

3.5.3 Toggle Auto Scan

Individual port may be selected or deselected for inclusion in the auto scan. In the port setup menu, move the highlight bar to the port and press + to enable auto scan and – to disable auto scan. A ￿ symbol next to the port name indicates that the port is enabled for auto scan. All ports are enabled by default.
