The Configure Peripheral Devices Menu allows you to change how peripheral control devices such as keyboards, mice, and touchscreens function on your SKVM/SKM and activate certain SKM functionality on SKVMs.
This will turn ON/OFF support for touchscreen interfaces through the mouse/keyboard port on your SKVM. By default, this is disabled from the factory.
Option 2 - toggle consumer control support – Add/Remove consumer device interface from DE
By default, your SKVM is set to block all functionality that is not a standard keyboard key. This includes items such as hotkeys and multimedia controls. This option will turn support for these functionalities ON/OFF.
NOTE: This can be used when troubleshooting keyboard functionality, but it will not support keyboards with extended functionality, such as card readers, USB hubs, or non-standard keyboard hardware. Certain keyboards may require using the Belkin HID Filter (F1DN-FLTR-HID-4). Information on this can be found on the Belkin Cybersecurity website.
Option 3 - Add/Remove an absolute (ABS) mouse interface to/from DE
This will toggle the ABS Mouse functionality for this port ON or OFF.
When using your computer, the USB mouse is typically in Relative Mouse mode. Relative Mouse enables the computer to move the pointer in sync with the operator's mouse movements, based on its previous position.
On the other hand, ABS Mouse mode sends an X and Y coordinate that may be based upon a virtual canvas. This functionality allows the operator to seamlessly control multiple Windows® OS multi-display computers as if they were one larger system.
Option 5 - video follow mouse
This allows the user to operate the SKVM without a remote control by moving the mouse off the screen to switch to the next channel. The channel sequence follows the same sequence as the front panel of the SKVM (i.e., on a four-port Universal SKVM, channels 1 through 4 start from left to right of the front panel).
Option 8 - back
Takes you back one level on the Menu.
Option 9 - exit terminal
Choosing this will back your SKVM/SKM out of the terminal mode, allowing you to use your SKVM 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 SKVM for 10 seconds to reboot it.
