User Guide for the ServSwitch™ Summit
You can use the ServSwitch™ Summit system to manage any practical number of
computer CPUs, from just a few to thousands. This user guide describes how to
configure and operate a keyboard/video/mouse user station attached to a
ServSwitch™ Summit User Station Module ("USM," product code KV1510A). For
USM specifications, installation instructions, system-administrator functions, etc., see
the manual for the ServSwitch™ Summit Base Units (KV1500A through KV1503A).
1. Logging In
You need to login in order to access computers and other devices connected to the
Summit system. The Login Menu (shown in Figure 1 on the next page) is
automatically displayed on every user-station monitor after the attached Summit
Base Unit is powered on; to bring up the Login Menu on a user-station monitor at
any other time, press the system's hotkey (the factory default is [Scroll Lock]) twice
in quick succession to bring up the On Screen User Interface ("OSUI"), then press
function key [F9].
If a user-station monitor displays the message "...No Connection to
Summit..." instead of the Login Menu, either the USM isn't connected
properly to the Base Unit, the Base Unit is powered off, or the Base Unit
is malfunctioning. Notify your system administrator.
