USING THE
Once the
USB Wizard
switch is properly connected, the
USB Wizard
will enable a
connection to be made between the
CPUs attached to its VIDEO and CPU ports and the monitor and input devices attached to
the MONITOR and DEVICES ports.
The LEDs on the control panel of the
USB Wizard
will illuminate
depending on which port (and corresponding CPU) is being
connected to the monitor and input devices.
The
USB Wizard
can be controlled by three methods:
•
front control panel using touch-switches and LEDs
•
keyboard
control
through Command Mode
•
mouse clicks from within some menus of OSD Command Mode (optional).
Front Panel Control
There is a touch-switch and LED on the front panel of the
USB Wizard
for each CPU the switch will
connect the monitor
and input devices to. Pressing any touch-switch on the front panel of the
USB Wizard will connect the corresponding CPU
t
o the monitor and input devices.
Holding down any front panel touch-switch for more than 2 seconds will cause the
USB Wizard
to
cycle through
all modes of operation including COMMAND, SCAN, and NORMAL (described below and on page 11). The two
MODE LEDs on the front panel indicate which mode is selected. Release the touch-switch when the LEDs indicate the desired
mode. When no mode LEDs are illuminated the user is in Normal Mode controlling directly the CPU to which the user is
connected through the
USB Wizard
.
Keyboard Control
Keyboard control of the
USB Wizard
can be achieved using either of two methods:
•
Basic Command Mode
- operated strictly by using keyboard commands as instructed below. Basic Command Mode
is only applicable if the OSD option is not built into the switch.
•
OSD Command Mode
(optional)- operated using the keyboard and mouse in conjunction with OSD menus superimposed
onto the monitor. If OSD is built in, use the menus as instructed on page 11.
By pressing <Ctrl> + < ` > (accent key), the user can enter Command Mode (either Basic, or OSD). Once in Command
Mode, typing a series of commands will cause the
USB Wizard
to connect the user to any one CPU
connected to the switch.
Pressing the <Esc> key will exit Command Mode.
MODES OF OPERATION
