User Profile Parameters and How to Change Settings

pause at each channel port during autoscanning. Default setting is

“Global.” Use any of the arrow keys to toggle between these values.

 Global: the system pauses at each channel port for the same

length of time set in the Global Scan Rate field.

 Individual: this indicates that the administrator has set a specific

length of time for each individual channel ports (as displayed in

the Selection Menu).

• Global Scan Rate: If Scan Mode is set to “Global,” this parameter

determines the length of time that the system pauses at each channel

port while scanning. Using leading zeroes if necessary, type in a

two-digit number of seconds from 01 to 24, or use the

and keys

to increase and decrease the current value by 1 respectively. The

default setting is 03.

• ID Display: The ID Display is a small window that can appear on the

screen to display the name and ID of each channel port as you switch

between them or scan them. Edit the two fields to determine how the

system will show you this window:

 Possible values in the first field are “On” (ID Display is shown, the

default value) and “Off” (ID Display isn’t shown). Use any of the

arrow keys to toggle between these values.
