Switching Between Computers

Performing a Soft Switch

Switching from one computer to another is a simple process with the Server
Console Switch. Switching disconnects the keyboard, mouse, and monitor
from one computer and connects them to another.
Whenever you switch between two computers, the Server Console Switch
reconfigures the keyboard and mouse using the settings stored in its memory.
For example, if the current computer selected has Caps Lock turned on, but
the user is switching to a second computer that has Caps Lock turned off, then
the unit turns Caps Lock off to match the setting for the second computer.
To switch computers:
1. Press Print Scrn to display the Main menu screen.
2. Double-click the computer name or port.
or
Highlight the port and press Enter.
or
Type the port number or first few letters of the computer name to
establish it as unique, then press Enter.
After opening the OSD menus, you can switch between computers without
having the OSD menus display. To perform a soft switch:
1. Click Setup | Menu.
2. Type in a time to delay displaying the Main OSD menu after Print Scrn
is pressed.
3. Click OK.
4. At the Main menu screen, type the port number or first few letters of the
computer name to establish it as unique and press Enter.
5. To switch to another computer, press Print Scrn and type the port
number or first few letters of the computer name. If the switch is
performed before the Delay time has expired, the OSD menus do not
display.
