SERVSWITCH™ JR.

If the currently selected CPU is running Windows NT (or possibly Windows 98 or
Windows 2000, depending on your mouse-driver version) and the PS/2 mouse gets
"out of sync" (see Section 4.3.5 for an explanation of this phenomenon), you can
issue this command to completely reinitialize the mouse driver. (For machines
running a combination of OS and driver that support the reinitialization function,
this command is usually more effective than [Ctrl] [N] for clearing up mouse
problems.) To do this, press and release the left Control key, then type the letter
[O] (not the number zero). In contrast to [Ctrl] [N], issuing [Ctrl] [O] when the
mouse is in sync will have no discernible effect on the mouse. [Ctrl] [O] also has
no effect on machines running a combination of OS and driver that does not
support the reinitialization function.
4.3.7 I
ROM
DENTIFY
Unfortunately, as with all complex equipment, problems might arise with your
ServSwitch Jr. that require the assistance of technical-support personnel. One of
the things technicians might want to know when they attempt to diagnose and
correct your problem is the revision level of your Switch's ROM. This command
causes the ServSwitch Jr. to send two numbers xy (short for its three-character "x.y"
ROM level) to the currently selected CPU as ASCII keyboard data; these characters
will be echoed back to the shared monitor if you are at some type of prompt. (You
must be at some kind of prompt or screen capable of displaying typed-in keyboard
characters, or you will not see the Switch's response.) To issue the Identify ROM
command, press and release the left Control key, then type [I].

ETTINGS
The Keep Settings command saves the current state of the ServSwitch Jr.'s
keyboard-selectable settings to nonvolatile memory (NVRAM), where they become
the new default (loaded at power-up) settings. To enter the command from your
keyboard, press and release the left Control key, then type [K]. The five keyboard-
selectable settings are described in the next five sections.
4.3.9 S
M
ET
AXIMUM
Use this command to tell a 4- or 8-port ServSwitch Jr. the total number of CPU
ports to which computers are or will be connected. This allows the scan function to
cycle correctly if you don't have computers attached all four or all eight of the
Switch's CPU ports. To issue the Set Maximum Ports command, press and release
the left Control key, type [P] followed by the total number of ports accessible to
that Switch ([2] to [7]), and press [ENTER]. To save a new Maximum Ports
setting, you must issue a Keep Settings command.
