SERVSWITCH™ ULTRA

5.4.1.B Resolution

This item gives you maximum monitor-type flexibility by determining the

resolution and refresh rate of the video signal that the ServSwitch Ultra sends to

the shared monitor while the unit isn’t receiving any video from the CPU. The

possible choices are:

• “PC1” (640 x 480 at 60-Hz refresh rate—the factory default),

• “PC2” (640 x 480 at 72 Hz),

• “PC3” (640 x 480 at 75 Hz),

• “MAC1” (640 x 480 at 67 Hz),

• “MAC2” (832 x 624 at 75 Hz),

• “SUN1” (1152 x 900 at 66 Hz), and

• “SUN2” (1152 x 900 at 76 Hz).

To change the resolution/refresh rate, press [Enter] while “Resolution” is

highlighted. An input box appears. Use the arrow keys to select the desired

combination of resolution and refresh rate and hit [Enter]. The input box

disappears and the new setting appears in the “Resolution” field.

5.4.1.C Screen Saver

The ServSwitch Ultra has a built-in screen saver that reduces the wear on your

screen. When there has been no shared-keyboard or -mouse activity for the length

of time specified in the “Screen saver time” field (see the next section), the screen

saver turns on. You can blank the screen or choose one of three possible display

patterns: “Fireflies” (the factory default), “Weaving,” or “Bounce.” Normal video is

restored when any key on the shared keyboard is pressed or the shared mouse is

moved. If you are not in an on-screen display menu, then the computer name

(label) is also displayed as if you had just switched to a new computer. While the

screen saver is on, all of the Serv unit’s “SELECT” LEDs (the left-hand red port

LEDs) will be turned off.

To change the screen-saver setting, press [Enter] while “screen saver” is

highlighted. A screen-saver input box appears. Use the arrow keys to select the

desired screen saver and hit [Enter]. The input box disappears and the new setting

appears in the “Screen saver” field.

If an access password has been set (see Section 5.5.2), this screen saver also

appears when no user is logged in. The screen saver will remain on-screen,

blocking view of any computer video, until a user enters the access password

correctly.
