Basic Switch Functions
This chapter provides information on basic switch functions such as resetting
the Keyboard/Monitor/Mouse Switch Box, connecting the keyboard and
mouse while the system is powered up, and basic and advanced commands.
Unit Operation
Basic operation of the Keyboard/Monitor/Mouse Switch Box is achieved
through the keyboard and a series of windows and menus that appear on the
monitor. You can switch between computers and check port/computer status
by using these menus.
Console Configuration Reporting (CCR) is the interface used to communicate
with the Keyboard/Monitor/Mouse Switch Box. CCR is accessed by pressing
the Print Scrn key. The user then communicates directly with the switch
using the system keyboard and monitor. For more information on navigating
the menus or lists, refer to “Appendix B, Command Summary.”
Switching Computers
To switch the keyboard, monitor, and mouse from one computer in the system
and connect it to another, proceed as follows:
1. Press Print Scrn. The CCR Selection window appears on the monitor.
The computers are listed in order of port or computer name, as
determined by the Menu Attribute choice.
2. Select the computer you want to switch to by using the Up and Down
arrow keys, or by pressing the numeric key that corresponds to the
computer’s port number, and press Enter.
3. Press Esc to exit CCR and remove the CCR Selection window from the
monitor. The status flag window returns (if enabled) to the display to
indicate the currently connected computer.
