ACS1208 / ACS1216 User Manual

F3 SET:

This function allows the Administrator and each User to set up his own working environment. A separate profile for each is stored by the OSD and is activated according to the Username that was provided during Login.

To change a setting:

1. Double Click it; or move the highlight bar to it, then press [Enter].

2. After you select an item, a submenu with further choices appears. To make a selection, either Double Click it; or move the Highlight Bar to it, then press [Enter]. An icon appears before the selected choice to indicate which one it is. The settings are explained in the following table:

Since the Ctrl key combination may conflict with programs running on the computers, the default is the Scroll Lock combination.

Allows you to position where the Port ID appears on the screen.

The default is the upper right corner, but you can choose to have it appear anywhere on the screen.

Use the Mouse or the Arrow Keys plus Pg Up, Pg Dn, Home, End, and 5 (on the numeric keypad with Num Lock off), to position the

Port ID display, then Double Click or press [Enter] to lock the position and return to the Set submenu.

Note: The ID display position for each port on the installation is set independently; the choice specified here only applies to the currently active computer.

Determines how long a Port ID displays on the monitor after a port change has taken place. The choices are: User Defined - which lets you select the amount of time (from 1 - 255 sec.); and Always

On - which displays the Port ID at all times. If you select User

Defined, key in the number of seconds, then press [Enter]. The default is 3 Seconds. A setting of 0 (zero) disables this function.
