Scanning your system
In Scan mode, the switch automatically scans from port to port (computer to computer). You can
scan up to 16 computers, specifying which computers to scan and the number of seconds that each
computer will display. The scanning order is determined by placement of the computer in the list.
The list is always shown in scanning order. You can, however, choose to display the computer’s
name or EID number by pressing the appropriate button.
To add computers to the scan list:
1. Activate the OSD and click Setup - Scan. The Scan dialog box will appear.
2. The dialog box contains a listing of all computers attached to your appliance. Click the check-
box next to the computers you wish to scan.
3. Enter the scan dwell time.
4. Click Scan.
To remove a computer from the scan list:
In the Scan dialog box, deselect the checkbox next to the computer to be removed.
Changing a User Password
For maximum security, users are encouraged to change their password frequently.
NOTE: This option is only applicable to systems where login security has been enabled.
To change a user password:
1. Activate the OSD and click the Setup button to access the Setup menu.
2. From the Setup menu, click Security, then User Accounts and ChgPassword.
3. You will be prompted to enter the old and new passwords for the active account. Once entered,
click Save to change the password, or press
Esc to exit.
Displaying Link Status
To display the current link status of the user session:
1. Activate the OSD and select Commands to activate the Commands menu.
2. Click the Link Status button.
Fine-Tuning the Image Settings
Once the radio link has been established and the monitor attached to the receiver is displaying
computer generated video, some fine-tuning of the video settings may be desired. This fine-tuning
should only be necessary the first time that an AutoView Wireless transmitter is used with a
particular computer; settings, once adjusted, are saved in the transmitter unit.
