OSD Blank Timeout
The OSD Blank Timeout is the amount of time that any operator (administrator, or user) can be idle while in Command Mode
before the OSD menu will disappear. The time period can be set to any value from 000 to 255 minutes. A value of 000 will
disable it. After the OSD disappears when the configured time period has elapsed, the administrator or user can make it
reappear by either pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse.

1.

from the System Configuration menu to display the
edit field around the value (see Figure 37)

Alternate Command Hot Key
To enable the administrator to assign a key in addition to the <
`
> (accent/tilde key) to use with <
Ctrl
> to enter into OSD
Command Mode, an Alternate Command Hot Key option is provided. The default factory setting for this option is <`> (disabling
the option).
To select an Alternate Command Hot Key, press <
A
> from the System configuration menu (page 27). A window will open and the
administrator will be prompted to press a key. Any key
except
Ctrl, Shift, Alt, Tab, Esc, or Enter can be used. After pressing the
key, a confirmation message will appear. The administrator should press <
Y
> (Yes) to validate the key as the Alternate Command
Hot Key, or <
N
> (No) to select another key.
Pressing <
Esc
> will return to the Administration Mode menu.
Only the administrator is able to set or change the Alternate Command Hot Key. This function must be set individually for each of
the USB User Device ports on the UNIMUX USB KVM switch.
Note: The Alternated Command Hot Key does not replace the <`> (accent) key, it just works as another way to enter into
Command Mode. After setting it, the user can enter into Command Mode either with <Ctrl> + <`> or with <Ctrl> +
<Alternate Command Hot Key> combination. To disable it, the administrator should set <`> as the Alternate Command
Hot Key.
