The “Station Settings” tab shows parameters that can be set for each station.
The parameters settable from this window are:
•
Station name : The “provisioned name” of the station.

from this administration console. In the tool bar, individual stations can be turned
on or off by using the green triangular arrow or red stop sign.

their “Start” programs tab. This would allow the host PC to be shut down without
a valid user logon. If this is turned off, the shut down options are not visible until
the user logs on.

an LCD monitor and well over 100 watts for a CRT). Thus the X350/X550 PCI

configurable for each access device or station. This drop down sets the amount
of time the station can be idle before the X350/X550 puts the monitor into a sleep
state. Moving the mouse or hitting a key on the keyboard attached to the
corresponding access device will wake the monitor back up. The installation
default value for “Monitor off” is 20 minutes. Selecting the value of “Never”
