Instead of using the View, Share, or Control Station command to switch to a
student’s station, you can use this command to select any station directly. To do so,
press and release your keyboard’s left [Ctrl] key, type in the station address, and
press [Enter]. Do
not
try to use the function keys as a shortcut for stations 1
through 10—the Professor will interpret this as a different command instead. Also
remember to use the numbers located at the top of your keyboard; do
not
use the
numeric keypad.
This command will give you view-only access, as if you had entered a View Station
command (see
Section 4.3.1
). To gain shared or sole keyboard and mouse control,
you’ll need to issue a Share Station or Control Station command (see
Section 4.3.2
or
4.3.3
respectively).

From the keyboard you can go forward or backward through the ServSwitch
Professor’s stations by selecting either the next or the previous station respectively.
To switch to the next station, press and release the left [Ctrl] key, then press the
plus key (the key at the top of the keyboard marked with [=] and [+]). To switch to
the previous station, press and release [Ctrl], then press the minus key (the key at
the top of the keyboard marked with [–] and [_]). The command is not case-
sensitive. Do not use the [+] and [–] keys on the keyboard’s numeric pad; the
Professor doesn’t recognize these.
These commands will give you view-only access, as if you had entered a View
Station command (see
Section 4.3.1
); to gain shared or sole keyboard and mouse
control, you’ll need to issue a Share Station or Control Station command (see
Section 4.3.2
or
4.3.3
respectively).
You can use these commands to switch only to those stations within the range
defined by the current Minimum Scan Station and Maximum Scan Station settings
(see
Section 4.3.16
.) If you issue a Next Numeric Station command when you’re
connected to the Maximum Scan Station (or to a higher-numbered station that
you’ve switched to by other means), the command will cause the Professor to “wrap
around” and switch to the Minimum Scan Station. Similarly, if you issue a Previous
Numeric Station command when you’re connected to the Minimum Scan Station
(or to a lower-numbered station that you’ve switched to by other means), the
command will cause the Professor to wrap in the opposite direction and switch to
the Maximum Scan Station. Lastly, the Professor will switch to the Minimum Scan
Station if you enter a Next Numeric Station command from any lower-numbered
station, and it will switch to the Maximum Scan Station if you enter a Previous
Numeric Station from any higher-numbered station.
