Selecting the
Computer to Operate
Some systems use additional, non-POLARA, computers to communicate
with instruments and to run instrument software.
The Hospital for Sick Children CatX Workstation system has 2 additional
computers connected in a LAN:
•
Envision computer
•
Evolution computer
The Belkin KVM Switch enables a single keyboard and display to operate
the computers used in the system LAN. Each computer is connected to one
of Port Numbers.
A computer must be powered on and correctly connected to select it. See the
Belkin documentation for operation details. In brief, you can use any of
following methods to select a computer Port Number:
•
Press a front panel button on the Belkin KVM switch.
•
Press the keyboard Scroll Lock twice and the Up or Down arrow key to
switch to the previous or next Port Number, respectively.
•
Press the keyboard Scroll Lock twice and a number key to select a
specific Port Number.
•
Press the keyboard Scroll Lock twice and the space bar to display a list of
Port Numbers from which you can select a specific Port Number.
The computers are connected to Belkin Port Numbers as shown in
