RS232 mouse type (Right Ctrl + Q + value + Enter)
This command is used to match your KVM station’s mouse to the mouse type
used on the connected computer. The default command value is 0 for auto-
detect. If the KVM station’s mouse type is the same as the computer’s mouse
this command does not need to be issued (PS/2 to PS/2 or Serial to Serial). If
the KVM mouse is different than the computer’s mouse, then issue the
command using the appropriate command value from table 10. Valid entries
are 0, 1, or 2.

Keyboard timeout (Right Ctrl + H + value + Enter)
This is a very powerful feature that allows other KVM users to take keyboard
and mouse control of a computer after a specific time of no keyboard or
mouse activity by the active user. The default value is 2 seconds and is
loaded upon connecting to the computer and when any keyboard or mouse
activity occurs. Once keyboard and mouse activity is detected, the other KVM
stations keyboard and mouse are inhibited until there is no keyboard or
mouse activity from the controlling KVM station after the timeout value is
reached. Valid entries are 0 – 255 seconds. A value of 255 seconds disables
all other KVM stations until the command is issued again with a timeout value
less than 255 seconds.
Screen blanking time (Right Ctrl + V + value + Enter)
This command sets the time the video will turn off with no keyboard or mouse
activity detected. The video will display when any key is pressed or the
mouse is moved. Valid entries are 0 – 999 seconds.
