SERVSWITCH DUO™
5.7 Keyboard Control: Hotkey Commands
You can control many functions on the ServSwitch Duo—such as CPU-channel
selection, autoscanning, or locking—from the keyboard, using commands
triggered with the Switch’s currently selected hotkey combination. All of the
hotkey-control commands are invoked by holding down the one or two hotkeys
and then pressing a command key. By default, the two hotkeys are [Ctrl] and [Alt],
although other keystroke combinations can be selected (see
Section 4.2.6
).
Normally, when you send a hotkey command, you have to release the hotkeys
and the command key before you can send another one. The one exception to this
rule is {Hotkeys} + [Tab], the “switch to next CPU channel” command; you can
“tab through” the channels by holding down the hotkeys and repeatedly pressing
[Tab].
The hotkey commands are summarized below. Note that to generate the
numeric digits in the commands that contain them, you need to press the number
keys on the top row of the main section of the keyboard,
not
the number keys on
the keypad; the Switch will not recognize keypad numbers.
• Use {Hotkeys} + [
x
], where
x
is a number from one to nine, to switch to the
corresponding CPU channel. If you try to select a channel with a higher
number than the Switch has ports, the Switch will ignore the command and
pass it through to the currently selected computer.
• Use {Hotkeys} + [1] then [
x
], where
x
is a number from one to six, to switch to
the corresponding CPU channel ([1][1] = channel 11, [1][2] = chanel 12, and
so on). If you try to select a channel with a higher number than the Switch has
ports, the Switch will ignore the command and pass it through to the currently
selected computer. To make sure that the Switch doesn’t switch prematurely to
channel 1, hold down the hotkeys until you enter the second digit,
then
release
them.
• Use {Hotkeys} + [Tab] to switch to the next channel in numeric sequence.
• Use {Hotkeys} + [M] to get the Switch to display its on-screen menu for
selecting computers by name.
• Use {Hotkeys} + [A] to have the Switch start autoscanning (briefly displaying
the video from each CPU channel in turn). You can control whether or not it
scans empty channels, and for how long it pauses at each channel, with the “L”
and “T” configuration commands respectively (see
Section 4.2.3
). To stop
autoscanning, simply select a fixed channel using the on-screen menu, the
Switch’s SELECT button, the keyboard hotkeys, or the mouse.
