Keyboard Switching - CYBEX AUTOVIEW COMMANDER Installer/User Manual

Keyboard
Switching
One of the ways to change the active channel in a non-secured AutoView
system is by entering a short sequence of keystrokes on the keyboard. This
is called keyboard, or hot-key, switching.
Note: Hot-key switching is only available in the default non-secure state.
The first set of keystrokes places your system in Command Mode. As long
as you are operating in Command Mode, whatever you type will be
interpreted as channel switch commands until the Enter or the Escape key
is pressed to terminate Command Mode. None of the keystrokes entered
will be forwarded to the attached computer until you exit Command Mode.
Next, enter the address (Addr) for the channel you wish to select.
Press Enter to accept the new channel. The following command line
shows the proper format used to switch your active channel via keyboard.
Below is a sample of a keyboard switching session, with an accompanying
explanation for each step.
For more information on secure versus non-secure operation, see
the 'Administrator Functions' section of Chapter 4.
