Operation
You can select a computer from the front panel of SwitchMan or through
the keyboard in hot-key mode. The LEDs on the front panel of SwitchMan
indicate which computer, or channel, is currently selected and ready for
use
SwitchMan automatically senses which channels are active-that is, those
that have computers that are connected and powered ON. In Scan mode,
SwitchMan cycles through these active channels. The video is displayed,
and the keyboard and mouse are active for each successive computer.
Front Panel
Select channels
To select a computer from the front panel, simply press the button
corresponding to the desired channel. The LED above the channel
illuminates and the video from that connected computer is displayed. The
keyboard and mouse become active for that computer.
The monitor will remain blank if you choose an inactive channel.
Scan channels
Scan is a feature that automatically steps through each active channel.
When Scan is active, SwitchMan allows you to view the video of each
active channel for a set interval (scan rate). SwitchMan then cycles to the
next active channel. The default scan rate is three seconds. You can set
the scan rate from the front panel or in hot-key mode
To activate Scan, press the scan button on the SwitchMan front panel.
To exit Scan, press the scan button (toggle ON/OFF) again.
Note: SwitchMan automatically skips inactive channels in Scan mode.
Set Scan rate
The scan rate can be changed through front panel buttons to preset
intervals. Press the scan button followed by the channel selection button
that corresponds to the desired scan rate (see chart below). The light
above the button blinks twice to acknowledge the setting, and scanning
continues at the new rate.
