The Configure SC Menu allows for bulk customization options for your KVM / KM. Here, you can customize KM functionality, including mouse cursor speeds, changing the Admin Terminal activation keys, switching between computers using only the mouse cursor, and customizing the RGB coloring of the Belkin Universal KVMs and Belkin F1DN008KBD KVM Remote Control with Integrated Keyboard controller.
Option 1 - enter desktop configuration [0-40] [default = 0]
This option is not currently supported on Belkin KVMs.
Option 2 - enter mouse speed [0-32] [Default = 5]
Changes the speed at which your mouse cursor moves across the screen. The KVM / KM intercepts all mouse movements, emulating them to the computers. If your mouse movement needs to be faster, it should be changed here instead of in Windows®. Changing it in Windows may cause mouse movement issues when using a laptop computer, or it may not register due to the laptop’s built-in touchpad.
Option 3 - upload configuration from the host
Option 4 - use ctrl key as shortcut prefix
Use to set what key activates Terminal mode. By default, the left and right CTRL keys are used when activating Terminal mode. This option will allow you to return it to the CTRL keys if you change it to the ALT keys.
Option 5 - use alt key as the shortcut prefix
Use to set what key activates Terminal mode. By default, the left and right CTRL keys are used when activating Terminal mode. This option will allow you to change it to the left and right ALT keys instead.
Option 6 - guard mode configuration
Guard Mode is used on KMs to turn channel switching ON or OFF when the cursor reaches the designated edge of a display, also known as Seamless Cursor Switching (SCS). By default, Guard Mode is enabled on all KM units shipping from the factory. When enabled, you cannot automatically change channels with the mouse cursor unless the left CTRL key is held down when moving from one system to another. This can also be activated on some KVM models.
IMPORTANT: The system administrator can turn OFF Guard Mode on a KM, allowing users to change channels without holding down the left CTRL key. Before this is done, we recommend checking with your IT or Security teams to ensure this is acceptable at your location, as it may violate NIAP regulations.
Option 7 - RGB fp configuration
Used for customizing the RGB color designations on the front panel of Belkin 2nd Generation Universal KVMs and what is displayed using the Belkin Remote Control with Integrated Keyboard. If your KVM / KM supports color profiles, a sub-menu with additional options will appear when this option is chosen.
Option 8 - back
Takes you back one level on the Menu.
Option 9 - exit terminal mode
Choosing this will back your KVM / KM out of the Terminal mode, allowing you to use your KVM as normal. However, this does not log you out of the administrator account you are currently logged into. To fully log out of the administrator account, disconnect power from the KVM for 10 seconds to reboot it.
