CHAPTER 5: Operation
5.2 The Front-Panel Pushbutton and the Remote-Control Module
You can use the ServSwitch Wizard Pro’s front-panel pushbutton to select which
CPU channel (CPU port) is currently controlled by the active control port. Press
the key once during normal operation to select the next CPU channel in sequence
(for example, to select channel 6 if channel 5 is currently selected); press the key
repeatedly to manually cycle through the channels.
You can also use this button to access the ServSwitch Wizard Pro’s configuration
mode (see
Section 4.2.1
). To access configuration mode while the Switch is
operating, press the button and hold it down for 5 seconds until “C” appears on
the Switch’s front-panel display.
An optional Remote-Control Module (“RCM” for short, our product code
KV6REM) is also available for the ServSwitch Wizard Pro. It’s a small hand-held
component—with a SELECT key that mimics the Switch’s pushbutton and an
identical copy of the Switch’s front-panel display—whose 10-foot (3-m) cord you
can plug into the Switch’s RS-232 port. This is particularly useful in applications
where the ServSwitch Wizard Pro is located some distance from the shared
keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The RCM can be conveniently attached to your
keyboard with the included Velcro strips so you can have channel information
and channel-selection control at your fingertips.
