Configuration
You can alter the way that the X2 Multi Screen modules operate to suit your 
requirements. This is done using the Configuration mode and you can affect the 
following settings: 
•  Password setting – allows you to lock the remote module to prevent 
unauthorised system access.
•  Mouse restoration and settings – allows you to restore mouse operation and 
also to change the mouse type.
•  Image controls - sharpness & brightness – allows you to manually adjust the 
video image to ensure that it is crisp and bright.
•  Skew adjustment – allows you to manually compensate for possible video 
errors introduced by long, uneven cable connections.
•  Miscellaneous functions – report firmware version and restore settings.
What are hotkeys?
Hotkeys are two normal keyboard keys that, when pressed simultaneously with a 
third key, signal to the X2 Multi Screen modules that you are sending a message 
specifically to them and not to the computer. The hotkeys are ordinarily 
 and 
, while a third keypress determines what you want the modules to do.
If the standard 
 and 
 hotkeys are also needed for computer tasks, you 
can change them for another combination using switches 2 and 3 on the 
REMOTE module:
2 OFF
3 OFF  
Hotkeys =
