5.2.6 Configure system: Scan time
This item determines the time, in seconds, that the ServSwitch will pause at each of
the computers when scanning. The factory-default setting is 5 seconds. To change
the scan time, press [Enter] while “Scan time” is highlighted. An “Input new value”
box appears. Use the shared keyboard’s number keys to input a new value from 1
to 999 seconds and hit [Enter]. (You can also set this value to zero to disable
scanning completely.) The input box disappears and the new setting appears in
the “Scan time” field.
5.2.7 Configure system: Scan Mode
This item turns scanning on or off. (Factory default is off.) To change the scan
mode, press [Enter] while “Scan mode” is highlighted. An off/on input box
appears. Use the arrow keys to select “on” or “off” and hit [Enter]. The input box
disappears and the new setting appears in the “Scan mode” field.
5.2.8 configure system: Power-on scan
This item determines whether the ServSwitch operates normally when it is powered
up or begins scanning immediately. To change the power-on scan setting, press
[Enter] while “Power on scan” is highlighted. An off/on input box appears. Use
the arrow keys to select “On” (Serv unit defaults to scan mode at power-up) or
“Off” (unit operates normally at power-up) and hit [Enter]. The input box
disappears and the new setting appears in the “Power on scan” field. (You must
save this change, as described in
Section 5.1.3
, for it to be effective. The factory-
default value for this option is “off.”)
5.2.9 configure system: Typematic Rate
This item determines how quickly repeated keystrokes are sent to the attached
CPUs when a key on the shared keyboard is held down. The factory-default setting
is 20 characters per second. To change the typematic rate, press [Enter] while
“Typematic rate” is highlighted. An “Input new value” box appears. Use the shared
keyboard’s number keys to input a new “rate value” from 0 to 31 and hit [Enter].
(This rate value corresponds to a certain number of keystrokes per second, as
shown in Table 3-1 on the next page.) The input box disappears and the new
setting appears in the “Typematic rate” field.
