In the ServSwitch Wizard’s factory-default state, you can use a three-button PS/2
mouse or an IntelliMouse to cycle through the Wizard’s CPU channels. To switch
to the next channel, simply hold down the center or “wheel” button on the mouse,
then press its left button. If you don’t want to use this feature—particularly if it’s
going to conflict with mouse-controlled application functions—you can disable it
by sending the [U][2], [U][3], or [U][5] command. If the third button on a
three-button mouse is being used to switch the Wizard, it won’t be available for use
with PC software, although the wheel on an IntelliMouse can be used for both
switching and software with no problems. For this reason, we’ve included the
[U][1], [U][2], and [U][4] command options, which cause the Wizard to report
to the attached PCs that they are attached to a 2-button mouse. If you want to use
all the functions of a 3-button mouse or IntelliMouse for your PC software, you
should send the Wizard the [U][3] or [U][5] command.
The ServSwitch Wizard supports “Internet mice” that are compatible with the
Microsoft IntelliMouse. These are fitted with a wheel or other type of scrolling
control and sometimes have additional buttons. Many such mice are available from
several different manufacturers.
You can connect either a standard PS/2 mouse or an IntelliMouse compatible
mouse to the Wizard’s control port. You can configure your CPUs using Microsoft
PS/2 or IntelliMouse drivers in any combination as required.
IntelliMouse features are supported on both PS/2 and RS-232 CPU connections.
When you use PS/2 CPU connections, the Wizard will automatically configure
itself to the type of mouse requested by the driver. If you are using RS-232 CPU
connections, you will need to send the [U][4] or [U][5] command to enable the
IntelliMouse features.
