DIP switch settings

• Mouse movement: Switch 1 controls whether the mouse will activate a user during sharing

mode. When this switch is On, the user must use the keyboard to activate the server. When

this switch is Off, a user may take control of the server by moving the mouse. The default set-

ting is Off.

• Time-out Settings: Switches 2 and 3 control the time-out settings for the active user. When the

active user has timed out, either user may take control of the server. Use switches 2 and 3 to

select the amount of time the active user has control of the server after all mouse and keyboard

movement has stopped. The default setting is 0.5 seconds. See table below for more options.

• Serial Options: Switches 4 and 5 control the serial port options. To allow both users access to

the devices attached to the serial port, set switch 4 to Off and switch 5 to On. To allow only the

remote user access to the serial port, set both switches to Off. Set switch 4 to On and switch 5

to Off to allow only the local user access to the attached device. The default setting allows

access to the remote user only.

View Companion transmitter. If a local monitor is present, the switch must be set to Off. If a

local monitor is not present, the switch must be set to On. The default setting is Off.

• Flash upgrade: Switch 8 allows for Flash upgrading of the LongView Companion extender. To

enable a Flash upgrade, this switch must be set to On. The default setting is Off.
