SERVSWITCH WIZARD PRO
one of the Switches is a 12- or 16-port Duo model, in which case you would use
two digits for each port number (including leading zeros) and enter the address
as “0305.” (Remember that units should not be cascaded more than three layers
deep.) Press [Enter] again to complete the entry and store it in the Switch’s
menu memory. The menu can hold over 300 entries.
Note that you can add another computer to the menu list at any time, and you
can continue adding computers without exiting the menu. Just press [Insert] again
to add an entry
after
the current line, or press [Shift] and [Insert] to add an entry
before
the current line, then input the new name as already described.

With the menu visible on the screen, highlight the computer to be selected using
the up- and down-arrow keys and page-up and page-down keys as required. Now
press the [Enter] key to switch to the highlighted computer. The ServSwitch
Wizard Pro has an advanced “connection confirmation” facility which is
particularly useful in systems where many computers are displaying the same or
very similar video: The selected computer name and port number will briefly flash
up on the screen to confirm the selection has been made; if it is not possible to
make the connection, perhaps because a cascaded unit is not switched on or is
in use locally, the menu will flash “computer unavailable” until you press [Esc]
to abort your selection. (You can configure how long this “confirmation message”
stays on screen; see
Section 4.2.5
.)
