Performing a Pod Switch
A pod switch may be performed by simultaneously pressing the left Alt key and the 1 key on the main keyboard (not the number pad).
To perform a pod switch:
1.Use the OSCAR interface to connect to a remote target device to which that you have full access. (It’s best to connect to the target device while in Private mode; see on page 96 for more information.) Make sure that you can control this target device with the keyboard and mouse.
2.Type the pod switch hotkey Alt + 1. You may now control the local target device with the keyboard and mouse.
3.To switch back to the remote target device, type Alt + 1.
