As with the various switches in the ServSwitch Wizard family, you can use a three-
button mouse or IntelliMouse to switch between the ServSwitch Duo’s/Quadro’s
CPU channels (see
Section 5.6 ): Pressing the central or “wheel” button together
with the left-hand mouse button will cause the Duo/Quadro to switch to the next
available computer for normal shared access. (Pressing those mouse buttons plus
[Shift] on the keyboard switches to that CPU for exclusive access; pressing those
mouse buttons plus [Ctrl] on the keyboard switches to that CPU for video-only
access.) Also, clicking the right-hand button together with the central or wheel
button can launch the on-screen menus (see
Section 5.11 ), and if you’re using a
wheel mouse, you can use the wheel to move the menus’ highlight bar up and
down.
When mouse switching is enabled, presses of the central button on a mouse can
only be used to control the Duo/Quadro; center-button presses aren’t passed
through to your computer applications. If you need to press the central mouse
button to control your applications, you’ll need to disable mouse switching.
(Except when Duo/Quadro menus are on screen, the rotation action of an
IntelliMouse wheel is not affected by this setting and is always available to the
computer application.)

Possible settings:
DISABLED (factory default); 2, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 30 MINUTES
To avoid burning out the phosphor on your CRT monitor screens, the Duo/
Quadro can be set to blank the screen after no keyboard or mouse activity has
been detected for a selected timeout period. You can choose whether the screen
goes completely dark or displays a moving dot when the screen saver is activated;
see
Section 5.13.4 .
If users want to, they can blank the screen manually by selecting channel “0”
(zero) using the keyboard hotkeys or by pressing [Esc] from the login screen.
If this option is not disabled, you can enable the automatic-logout option to have
the system log users once the timeout expires, rather than merely activating a
screen saver. See
Section 4.7.6
.
