SERVSWITCH™ WIZARD
5.5 Keyboard Control: Hotkey Commands
You can control many functions on the ServSwitch Wizard—such as CPU-channel
selection, autoscanning, or locking—from the keyboard, using commands
triggered with the Wizard’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 4.2.8
).
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 and on the next page. 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 Wizard will not recognize keypad numbers.
• Use {Hotkeys} + [ x ], where x is a number from one to two (on the 2-port
model) or one to four (on the 4-port model), to switch to the corresponding
CPU channel. If you try to select a channel with a higher number than the
Wizard has ports, the Wizard will ignore the command and pass it through to
the currently selected computer.
• Use {Hotkeys} + [Tab] to switch to the next channel in numeric sequence.
• Use {Hotkeys} + [M] to get the Wizard to display its on-screen menu for
selecting computers by name.
• Use {Hotkeys} + [A] to have the Wizard 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
“L1” through “L4” and “T
x
” configuration commands respectively (see
Section 4.2.3 ). To stop autoscanning, simply select a fixed channel using the
Wizard’s front-panel pushbutton, the keyboard hotkeys, or the mouse.
Please note that, in cascaded systems, it is not possible to scan through all of
the channels on every Wizard in the same scan. Each Wizard must be scanned
separately.
