SERVSWITCH™ SPECTRA
4. Operation
4.1 Keyboard-Command Summary
Table 4-1 summarizes the commands that can be sent to
the ServSwitch Spectra. To enter any command at your
keyboard, first press and release the left Control key,
represented by “[Ctrl].” (This cues the Spectra to
look for commands from that keyboard.) Then press
and release the command-character key(s). (Letter
commands aren’t case-sensitive; they’re all shown
in uppercase for clarity only. Do
not
use the [Shift],
[Caps Lock], or [Alt] keys while you type in commands.)
Important:
For commands that include numbers,
don’t
use the number keys in your keyboard’s keypad area;
use only the number keys at the top of your keyboard.
All of the Spectra commands have a two-second
timeout between characters. This means that if you
begin entering a command, but you stop for more
than two seconds at any time before you type the final
character, the command is aborted and the Spectra
returns to normal operation. This keeps the Spectra
from getting stuck waiting for you to finish the
command.
