Hotkey clashes between ServSwitch Duo IPC and Wizard IP

When using the Wizard IP in conjunction with the ServSwitch Duo IPC 
it may be necessary to change the standard hotkeys for one of the 
devices as they both use

 

 

and 

 

as their standard hotkeys. It is 

not important which device is 

altered

, however, ensure that the new 

setting does not clash with any software being used on connected 
systems. 
Whereas ServSwitch Duo IPC uses the hotkeys plus   to access its 
menu, the Wizard IP uses the hotkeys plus   to summon its menu:  

2  Press   To display the Configuration Menu: 

 

3  Use the   and   keys to highlight an option, then press 

 to select.

Hotkeys

Note: 

 and 

 are the standard hotkeys and can be 

altered

 to 

avoid clashes with other devices or software - in particular, the Wizard 
IP device when it is used alongside (see below). If you change the 
hotkeys, remember to use the new ones in place of 

 and 

 when 

following the instructions in this guide.

Security

Note: If the security option has been 
enabled, you will be asked for a valid 
user name and password before the 
main menu can be displayed (user 
names and passwords are not case sensitive).

IMPORTANT: When supplied, ServSwitch Duo IPC has its security 
features disabled, which means that any attached users have access 
to all connected computers and all ServSwitch Duo IPC settings. 
You are strongly recommended to 

enable the ‘Security’ feature

 

and set an access password for the ADMIN account.
