SERVSWITCH DUO™
4. Configuration
To configure your ServSwitch Duo system, you’ll need to configure first the
attached PCs, as directed in
Section 4.1
, then the Switch itself, as directed in the
rest of this chapter.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Throughout the rest of this manual, the [Enter] designation refers to the
main “enter” or “carriage-return” key (often labeled “
↵
”) on the main
section of the keyboard. Do not use the “Enter” key on the numeric
keypad or the extra “Enter” key found on the main section of some
specialized keyboards.
4.1 Configuring your PCs
Configure your PCs in the same way that you would if your keyboard, mouse and
monitor were all connected directly to your PCs, but keep these things in mind:
• The ServSwitch Duo emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse, and
PS/2 mice, so make sure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft
mouse of the correct type. Refer to the list of supported drivers in
Section 3.1
.
• The ServSwitch Duo supports VGA, SVGA, XGA, and XGA-2 type monitors,
but does not support the automatic detection features available with some
Plug-and-Play monitors and video cards. If you have this type of video card or
monitor, you should select the video mode manually instead of relying on the
automatic detection feature.
4.2 Configuring the ServSwitch Duo
The ServSwitch Duo comes from the factory preset to default configuration
settings which are suitable for most applications. If you need to set the Switch
differently, you can access its “configuration mode” to do so; once you do, the
new settings are stored in the ServSwitch Duo’s EEPROM memory and are
retained when the Switch is powered OFF.

and all attached PCs are turned OFF and unplugged. Hold down the SELECT
