SERVSWITCH ELITE™
4. Operation and Configuration
Basic operation of the ServSwitch Elite is performed through the keyboard and a
series of windows and menus that appear on the console display. Through these
menus, you can perform functions such as switching between computers and
checking port/computer status. You can get into these menus by pressing the
[Print Screen] key; once you do, you can communicate directly with the Switch
using your keyboard and monitor.
Table 4-1 on the next page shows how the ServSwitch Elite uses or affects certain
keys on the shared keyboard, especially in regards to the on-screen menu. For
more information on navigating the Switch’s on-screen display, refer to
Appendix A
.
NOTE
In ServSwitch Elite systems, a single press of the [Print Screen] key—
which on some computers (in ordinary conditions) causes the computer
to capture or print out the current screen—is used to initiate the
Switch’s on-screen menus and port-switching process instead. To print
a screen displayed by a computer attached to the system, you’ll have to
press [Print Screen] twice if the computer is attached to a single or
master Switch or four times if the computer is attached to a slave
Switch.
In cascaded systems, this [Print Screen] keypress activates the
menus and port-switching functions at the master Switch, which
controls switching, scanning, and configuration for the whole system.
Even though in a cascaded system you can press [Print Screen] a
second time to access these functions on the currently selected slave
unit, we do not recommend doing this except for very limited slave-
specific switching, status-checking, or scanning purposes. Do not
change the factory-default configuration values on a slave; setting a
master and slave to conflicting configuration values will cause the
system to behave unpredictably.
See Table 4-2 on the next page for a list of the effects of repeatedly
pressing [Print Screen] in ServSwitch Elite systems.
