Hotkey Port Selection
Hotkey Port Selection allows you to select the active computer directly
from the keyboard. The Master View CS-114A provides the following
Hotkey Port Selection features:
M
Selecting the Active Port
M
Auto Scan Mode
M
Last/Next Mode
Hotkey Port Selection is activated with one of two combinations:
M
The default combination is [Alt+Ctrl+Shift]. If you use this
method, the combination must all be on the same side
(i.e., LLeftShift or RRiRightShift).
M
The alternate combination is pressing and releasing both Ctrl
keys simultaneously ([Left Ctrl+Right Ctrl]). If this conflicts with
programs running on the computers, the default combination
must be used.
The activation combination is chosen with DIP Switch 3 on the rear panel
of the First Stage unit. Set the switch to ON for Alt+Ctrl+Shift (Hot Key 1);
set it to OFF for LCtrl+RCtrl (Hot Key 2).
M
Selecting the Active Port:
Since each CPU port is assigned a unique Port ID, you can directly access
any computer on any level of the installation using a Hotkey combination
that specifies the Port ID of the CPU Port that the computer is connected
to. The steps involved are:
1. Press and simultaneously release the Hotkey activation combination
(Alt+Ctrl+Shift or LCtrl+RCtrl)
2. Key in the appropriate Port ID one digit at a time (see note below).
3. Press [Enter] to complete your selection.
Note: The Port ID is a one, two, or three digit number that is
determined by the Stage Level and CPU Port number of the
Master View unit that the computer is connected to. The first
digit represents the CPU Port number of the First Stage unit; the
second digit represents the CPU Port number of the Second
Stage; the third digit represents the CPU Port number of the
Third Stage.
For example, to access a computer attached to a First Stage unit, simply
key in a one digit number (1 - 4), that corresponds to the CPU Port number
that the computer is connected to.
