CHAPTER 4: Operation
If “Maximum Ports” is set to 100 to 256: The ServManager will immediately
switch to the desired port when you press the three-digit number’s third
numeral key. For single- and double-digit ports, you can enter the number by
including one or two leading zeros (“001” for port 1 or “027” for port 27) or
by pressing [ENTER] after you press the single or second numeral key. As
noted above, the ServManager will wait two seconds for you to enter another
digit, then will switch to the partially entered port number.

From the keyboard you can go forward or backward through the
ServManager’s ports by selecting either the next or the previous port
respectively. To switch to the next port, press and release the left Control Key
([CTRL]), then press the plus key (the key at the top of the keyboard marked
with [=] and [+]). To switch to the previous port, press and release [CTRL],
then press the minus key (the key at the top of the keyboard marked with [–]
and [_]). The command is not case-sensitive. Do
not
use the [+] and [–] keys
on the keyboard’s numeric pad; the ServManager doesn’t recognize these.
You can also select the next or previous port manually from the
ServManager’s front panel by pushing the button on the keypad labeled
↑
or
↓
respectively. Each time you press the button, the next or previous port in
sequence is selected.

To enable scanning (switching from CPU to CPU in a continuous rotation)
from the keyboard, press and release the left Control Key ([CTRL]), then
press [S]. The ServManager will begin scanning sequentially from its currently
selected port through the higher-numbered ports, then begin again at CPU
Port 1. As it scans, it delays 1 to 999 seconds at each port. (This “Scan-Delay
Time” is user-selectable; see
Section 4.3.5
.) To stop scanning, press and
release [CTRL], then press [X]. You can also disable scanning by entering a
Select Port command. ServManager letter commands are not case-sensitive:
You can enter upper- or lower-case letters.
To enable scanning from the front panel of a single or master ServManager,
use the menu to turn “Scan mode” ON (see
Section 4.4.2
).
