SERVSWITCH™ OCTET TECHNICAL BULLETIN

remote target devices, you will need to connect to a remote target device through the
OSD interface before you may pod switch to the local target device.
•
Make sure your Octet switching system is configured to allow for pod switching; see
Configuration on page 1 for more information. You may enable Pod Switch mode at
any time, but the pod switch will not be successful if the Octet switching system
configuration is incorrect.
•
If connecting to the remote target device in Shared mode and another user takes
control, you will not be able to pod switch to it from the local target device. Use the
OSD interface to connect to the remote target device. If you are able to regain control
of the keyboard and mouse, pod switching will be allowed between the remote and
local target devices.
To avoid this issue, connect to the remote target device in Private mode.
•
Once you enter the pod switch hotkey, there may be a slight delay before you can
control the target device. This will allow the keyboard and mouse settings to be
synchronized. For example, the local target device may have Caps Lock on, while the
remote target device may have Caps Lock off. In this example, if you pod switch
from the local target device to the remote target device, the Caps Lock key will be
turned off on the keyboard.
