Timeout
When there are 2 workstations in the system you can gain control at each
workstation when the other workstation is idle for 2 seconds. This timeout period
can be altered in the settings mode to between 1-99 seconds, as explained below.
Locking KVM control
When there are 2 users using the system, either user can override the Timeout
feature and retain control indefinitely. Do so by locking the system so that only
one user has control.
To lock control:
On the keyboard press Shift followed by F12.
To relinquish control:
On the keyboard press Shift followed by Esc.
In the settings mode you can disable the lock control function. This is explained in
the Settings mode paragraph below.
