CHAPTER 5: Operation
5.2 Selecting Computers with the Front-Panel Pushbuttons
The ServSwitch Duo’s/Quadro’s front-panel pushbuttons and LED indicators are
described in
Section 5.1 . To select a computer using the buttons, first check the
green 7-segment LED labeled “USER.” Is it showing the number of the user port
on the Duo/Quadro (“1,” “2,” “3,” or “4”) that your KVM user station is attached
to? (If not, press the USER button to select your user port.) The number of the
computer port on the Duo/Quadro that you currently have selected should be
displayed in the red 7-segment LED marked COMPUTER. To select the computer
you want to access, press the COMPUTER button as many times as necessary,
switching to the next available computer channel each time, until the red
COMPUTER display shows the CPU-port number of your desired computer.
Refer to Figure 5-2: If the password security system has not been enabled, the
“next available computer channel” will be the next CPU port in numeric sequence.
If password security has been enabled (see
Section 4.7.1 ), you will only be able to
select the computer ports that you have access to. And if the front-panel controls
have been disabled by the administrator (see
Section 4.7.4 ), you’ll only be able to
select the special channels “o” and “0” (the on-screen menu/login screen and the
nonexistent channel zero respectively).
