11.6.4 Extensions
Enable Screen Saver – Check to enable the DX screen saver. The screen saver
appears if there is no activity for 5 minutes after the Timeout login screen appears.
This 5 minute time period cannot be altered.
Enable Direct Connection - Check to enable Users to use a hotkey to directly
connect to a device without having to access the AIM. See Direct Hotkey on page
43 above.
Use consistent hotkey – Using consistent hotkey assigns Direct hotkeys to servers
according to the Server port number that they are physically connected to. When
not using consistent hotkey, direct hotkeys are assigned in sequence number order.
For example, supposing there are 3 servers in the system, and they are connected to
Server ports 3, 7 and 12. Using consistent hotkey assigns hotkeys as:
Ctrl, Ctrl, 3, Enter.
Ctrl, Ctrl, 7, Enter
Ctrl, Ctrl, 12, Enter.
Not using consistent hotkeys, assigns hotkeys as:
Ctrl, Ctrl, 1, Enter.
Ctrl, Ctrl, 2, Enter.
Ctrl, Ctrl, 3, Enter.
The hotkeys appear in the Details view of the Servers window - see page 55.
11.6.5 Time Settings

Administrator. All this is explained in more detail below.
To create/edit Users and Groups:
From the View menu choose Users and Groups. The Users and Groups window
appears. See Figure 49.
