SERVSWITCH ™ DUO EXTENDER
4.2 Configuring the Extender
The ServSwitch Duo Extender has a large number of configuration options. You’ll
set different options using one of two different methods:
• Which keyboard-character combination the Extender recognizes as a keyboard
command is controlled with the Extender’s eight-position DIP switch. See
Section 4.2.1 .
• Video compensation and other advanced options are controlled with keyboard
commands after the Extender is placed in “configuration mode.” See
Section 4.2.2 .
4.2.1 S
ETTING THE
H
OTKEY
You can use positions 6, 7, and 8 of the 8-position DIP switch on the side of the
Extender (shown in Figure 4-1 on the next page) to select the Extender’s hotkey
combination. (The hotkey combination is the combination of keyboard keys that
triggers the Extender to look for a keyboard command—see
Section 5.7 .) The
available options are [Ctrl] + [Alt] (the factory-default setting), [Ctrl] + [Shift],
[Alt] + [Shift], right [Alt] only, left [Alt] + right [Alt], left [Ctrl] + left [Alt], right
[Ctrl] + right [Alt], or hotkeys disabled. (While hotkeys are disabled, no hotkey
commands can be sent to the Extender, including the command to access
configuration mode. In this situation, configuration mode will not be available.)
Positions 1 through 5 of this DIP switch are reserved for future use and must
remain set to OFF.
