SERVSWITCH DT BASIC II

NOTES 

   

1. You can't connect a serial mouse to the Console side of the ServSwitch DT Basic II. 
It only works with a PS/2 mouse. The automatic mouse conversion system on the 
Console side of the ServSwitch enables you to connect computers using a serial 
mouse and control the computers from one PS/2 mouse. 

   

2. Be aware that the mouse adapter can only be used on the Computer side. It will not 
work on the Console side.

   

3. If your PC uses an AT

®

 style keyboard, you will need an AT to PS/2 keyboard adapter 

on the PC side to connect the cable to the KV7022A or the KV7024A.

   

5. Initial Power-up

  Make sure all computers and the ServSwitch DT Basic II are powered down 
during installation. After connection, simply power up the computers. This 
procedure ensures the ServSwitch receives computer settings correctly when the 
computer boots.

  As a result, the ServSwitch will generate correct responses and allow both 
computers to boot successfully without user intervention. Should you decide to 
expand the system in the future or to replace failed devices, you may hot plug any 
additional  computer and ServSwitch (as long as they are powered off) to the 
system. 

 

6. Operations

Front-panel operation

  You may switch to a different computer by pressing the front-panel push button 
manually or by issuing hotkey commands. The front-panel red indicator light 
changes to reflect the computer port selected. The indicator flashes while in either 
Auto Scan or Manual Scan mode.
