Selecting servers

Use the Main dialog box to select servers. When you select a server, the appliance
reconfigures the keyboard and mouse to the proper settings for that server.
To select servers:
Double-click the server name, EID or port number.

If the display order of your server list is by port (Port button is depressed), type
the port number and press Enter.
-or-
If the display order of your server list is by name or EID number (Name or EID
button is depressed), type the first few characters of the name of the server or
the EID number to establish it as unique and press Enter.
To select the previous server:
Press Print Screen and then Backspace. This key combination toggles you
between the previous and current connections.
To disconnect the user from a server:
Press Print Screen and then Alt+Ø. This leaves the user in a free state, with no
server selected. The status flag on your desktop displays Free.

Soft switching

Soft switching is the ability to switch servers using a hotkey sequence. You can soft
switch to a server by pressing Print Screen and then typing the first few
characters of its name or number. If you have set a Screen Delay Time and you
press the key sequences before that time has elapsed, OSCAR will not display.
