SERVSWITCH™ DUO AND SERVSWITCH™ QUADRO
• You can use
{hotkeys} + {port number}
to select a computer channel on a
single (non-cascaded) Duo/Quadro:
If the computer’s port number is a single digit (1 to 9), press and hold the
hotkeys, then press and release that number key—for example, {hotkeys} + [7]
to select CPU #7—then release the hotkeys.
If the computer is on a two-digit port number (10 to 16), press and hold the
hotkeys, then press and release[1], then press and release the number key of
the second digit—for example, {hotkeys} + [1] + [2] to select CPU #12—then
release the hotkeys.
If you try to select a channel with a higher number than the Duo/Quadro
has ports, the Duo/Quadro will ignore the command and pass it through to
the currently selected computer.
• Although we don’t recommend doing so, you can use
{hotkeys} + {address}
to
select a computer channel in a cascaded Duo/Quadro system (see
Sections 3.4.3
,
4.6.2
, and
5.15
). The address is a series of port numbers that
specify the “path” to follow to get from the master ServSwitch Duo/Quadro to
the desired computer channel on a subsidiary switch. If the path goes only
through 4- and 8-Port Duos, you can enter single-digit port numbers without
leading zeros; otherwise, include the leading zeros. For example, if a routing
path consists of user
→
CPU port 6 on a master 8-Port Duo
→
CPU port 9 on a
second-layer 12-Port Duo
→
CPU port 15 on a third-layer 16-Port Duo
→
CPU,
then, to switch to that CPU, you would need to press and hold the hotkeys,
type in [0][6][0][9][1][5], and release the hotkeys. (To make sure that the
Duo/Quadro doesn’t prematurely switch to the wrong channel, hold down the
hotkeys until you enter the last digit.)
Although group numbers can take the place of single port numbers in the
on-screen menu’s cascade addresses (see
Sections 3.4.3
and
4.6.2
), the Duo/
Quadro doesn’t support using group numbers in hotkey switching commands.
If you make a mistake and type in a nonexistent address, the Duo/Quadro
will ignore the command and pass it through to the currently selected
computer.
•
{Hotkeys} + [M]
(when you have English or German selected as the keyboard
language) or
{Hotkeys} + [?] (question mark)
(when you have French selected
as the keyboard language—see
Section 4.7.2
) causes the on-screen menu to
appear, so that you can select computers by name. This is usually the best way
of selecting computers in systems with more than four attached CPUs.
