CHAPTER 4: Configuration
2
Sets the Switch to stop at either
all
the ports or
just the
active
ports while it is (a) autoscanning,
(b) being switched with {Hotkeys} + [Tab], or
(c) being switched with a mouse (see
Sections 5.5
and
5.6
).
CAUTION!
Many modern monitors are fitted with automatic power-
saver relays and will automatically blank their displays after
a short time if the PC they’re communicating with becomes
idle. If you are using such a monitor, you should not set the
ServSwitch Wizard to autoscan all ports unless you can set
the monitor’s power-saver timeout to an interval longer than
the Switch’s autoscan pause time (see the entry for
position 3 below), because if the monitor keeps going in
and out of power-saver mode during autoscanning, the
constant switching ON and OFF of your monitor’s relay will
eventually damage your monitor.
3
Sets the time that each channel will be displayed
during autoscan (the “pause” or “dwell” time).
Available options are 2 or 5 seconds (see
Section 5.5
).
4
Determines whether the mouse can be used to
switch the Switch’s channel (see
Section 5.6
). If
you use the mouse to switch the Switch, the mouse’s
third or wheel button will not be available to your
application software.
