CHAPTER 5: User Functions

To choose a computer from the Selection Menu, take these steps:

1.Press [F12] to toggle the menu to your desired sort-order view (by channel-ID number or alphabetically by device name). The entry for the channel you currently have selected (if any) will be highlighted and will have a small red arrow to the left of its channel name.

NOTE

In the channel-ID view only, the Selection Menu can display either all channels or only those channels that the user is allowed to select. The latter is the default, but if the system administrator has set the “Display All Computers” option in the System Configuration menu (see Section 6.2) to “Yes,” you can press [F10] to toggle between the restricted and unrestricted views. In the unrestricted “all channels” view, the Summit displays a red “S” next to the scan rate of any channel that the you aren’t allowed to access.

2.Use the up- and down-arrow keys (and, in large systems, the PageUp and PageDown keys) to move the highlight bar to the channel you want to select, then press [Enter]. Note that although the highlight will move, the small red arrow to the left of the channel name will remain where it was and continue to indicate your currently selected channel until you choose a new one.

In the channel-ID (sorted by ID view, once your desired channel’s page is on screen, you can also press the desired channel’s key number ([1] through [8]) to move the highlight to that channel instantly.

In the name view, you can also type the first few characters of the desired channel’s name to move the highlight to the first channel whose name begins with that character sequence. If you type enough characters, the highlight should eventually move to the precise channel you want.

3.When you press [Enter] to select a channel, and there’s a computer CPU attached to that channel that you are allowed to access, the Summit automatically switches you to that channel for normal computer operation and the OSUI disappears. If there’s a cascaded Base Unit attached to that channel, an additional dedicated OSUI Selection Menu will appear for that device; keep moving through the Selection Menu layers until you reach the CPU you want. (To return to the main Selection Menu from any second- or third-tier device-specific Selection Menu, press the [Home] key on your keyboard once, or press [Esc] once or twice depending which tier you’re on.)

Once you’ve switched to a different channel, you can continue switching by pressing the hotkey (factory default is [Scroll Lock]) twice in quick succession to bring the Selection Menu back on screen. If instead you want to go back to your previously selected channel without seeing any OSUI menus, you can press the “previous channel” command key (factory default is [Num Lock]) twice in quick succession.
