Figure 12 Time settings window
SCN - Sets the amount of time spent on the selected computer when Auto Scanning.
LBL - Sets the amount of time the OSD label that shows which computer is currently accessed is displayed.
T/O - When password protection is activated, you can automatically disable the Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor after a set amount of inactive time, requiring a password to be entered to regain access to the KVM switch. When Timed Out, press the 'Shift, Shift' OSD Hotkey Command to pull up the password prompt, which will take you back to the OSD Main Menu once you enter your password.
To set the above periods:
1.On the desired line press Tab to jump to the desired column.
2.Place the cursor over one of the 3 digits and type a new number. Enter a leading zero where necessary. For example, type 030 for 30 seconds.
Enter 999 in the LBL column to have the label displayed continuously. Enter 000 if you do not want the label to appear.
Enter 999 in the T/O column to disable the Timeout function.
Enter 000 if you want the Timeout function to work immediately.*
* This will literally cause the Timeout function to begin immediately when the computer port is selected. This will essentially freeze access to the KVM, not allowing the user enough time to hit the OSD Hotkey Command to pull up the password prompt. It is recommended that you always keep the T/O set to 5 seconds or higher. If you set the T/O at 000 and get locked out of the KVM, turn the Console KVM Off and then back On.
This will reset the KVM, leaving a blank screen on the monitor. Hit the 'Shift, Shift' OSD Hotkey Command to pull up the password prompt. Once you type in your password, you will again have access to the OSD Main Menu.
Enter 999 in the SCN column to display the screen for 999 seconds.
Enter 000 to skip the computer screen.
