Setting Function
SET LOGOUT
TIMEOUT
If there is no input from the console for the amount of time set with
this function, the user is automatically logged out. A login is
necessary before the console can be used again.
This enables other users to gain access to the computers when the
original user is no longer accessing them, but has forgotten to log
out. To set the timeout value, key in a number from 1–180 minutes,
then press [Enter]. The default setting of 0 disables this function.
Note: This feature does not function if Set Login Mode is disabled.
See SET LOGIN MODE, page 31.
EDIT PORT
NAMES
To help remember which computer is attached to a particular port,
every port can be given a name. This function allows the
administrator to create, modify, or delete port names.
To edit a port name:
1. Click the port, or use the navigation keys to move the highlight
bar to it, then press [Enter].
2. Key in the new port name, or modify/delete the old one. The
maximum number of characters allowed for the port name is 12.
Legal characters include:
All alpha characters: A–Z
All numeric characters: 0–9
* ( ) + : - , ? . / and Space
Case does not matter; OSD displays the port name in all
capitals no matter how they were keyed in.
3. When you have finished editing, press [Enter] to have the
change take effect. To abort the change, press [Esc].
RESTORE
DEFAULT
VALUES
This function is used to undo all changes and return the setup to
the original factory default settings (see OSD FACTORY DEFAULT
SETTINGS, page 61) except for the port name list, username and
password information, which are saved.
CLEAR THE
NAME LIST
This function clears the port name list.
ACTIVATE
BEEPER
Choices are Y (on), or N (off). When activated, the beeper sounds
whenever a port is changed; when activating the Auto Scan
function (see F7 SCAN, page 35); or an invalid entry is made on an
OSD menu. The default is Y.
SET LOGIN
MODE
This function allows the administrator to request users to login or
not. When the login dialog box is disabled, the system disables the
login/logout function. If the system is re-started, the login/logout
function remains disabled.
