Use DIP switches B3 and B4 on the master K4u

to specify
the inactivity timeout:

The Status dialog and About dialog, both launched from the
Mouse Point menu, display useful details about the current
status of the K4u

details for the attached K4u

After viewing the Status dialog, the displayed details are written
to local and, optionally, remote status files. These files are

the Mouse Point host computer.
These status files are saved in the same folders as the local and
remote log files. See section 6. 7 for details about log file
locations.
