Note: By default, the display will show all connections between CPUs and users, displaying 4 at a time, from the first to the last, and repeating the cycle indefinitely. If the user presses either the up or down arrow to manually view connections, the display will freeze on the chosen view. To resume the default cycle of displaying all connections, the user must press and hold either the up or down arrow for 3 seconds, and then release it.
