The ServSwitch Wizard Pro has a programmable screen-saver function which will
blank the display on the shared monitor after a certain time elapses with no activity
on the shared keyboard or mouse. If a password has been set (see 

Section 4.2.9

),

the Switch will also lock itself when it activates the screen saver.

The Switch’s front-panel display will flash while the Switch is in screen-saver

mode. If the switch is locked, you will have to type in the password to unlock it and
deactivate the screen saver; otherwise, simply typing at the keyboard or moving the
mouse will restore the blanked monitor display. Use the “B” command (type [B]
[

digit

] [Enter]) to set how long the ServSwitch Wizard Pro waits for keyboard or

mouse activity before activating the screen saver:

B1

Screen saver disabled (default)

B2

Screen saver is activated after 1 minute of inactivity

B3

2 minutes
