CHAPTER 4: Operation
Issuing the XShare Station with Another Station command with a
sharing
station
address of Me ([F11]) will cause the Professor system to behave just as if you had
entered the Share Station command (see
Section 4.3.2
). Issuing the XShare
command with a
shared
station address of Me ([F11]) will actually allow students to
share control of your CPU. (Remember that even though students might be in
control of your CPU, your ServSwitch Professor System Control Module will always
respond instantly to your keyboard commands.)
The Professor will ignore any XShare command with a
shared
station address of
All ([F12]).
ServSwitch Professors that are sharing the same CPU will synchronize their
keyboard Lock states: Any of Num Lock, Caps Lock, or Scroll Lock that are ON at
the shared station’s keyboard when sharing begins will be turned ON at all sharing
keyboards; any that are OFF will be turned OFF. If anyone at any of the sharing
keyboards turns one of these Locks ON or OFF later, it will be turned ON or OFF
at all of the sharing keyboards.
To dissolve all XShare relationships and return the Professor system to normal
operation (each student viewing and controlling his or her own CPU), send the
Enable All Stations ([Ctrl][F5][F12][Enter]) command (see
Section 4.3.5
).
