Chapter 5: Operation

NOTE: You can only use the hotkeys to switch to unused and allowed CPUs. Hotkeys are only supported if neither “Enable User Login” nor “Enable User ACL” is selected and the user is logged in the OSD.

5.1.2 Scan Mode

The Scan Mode can show video signals of the different CPUs fast and without delay and switch continuously using the hotkey. Switching between two video signals can even take place within one frame.

1.Start command mode with the hotkey. For control, the “Shift” and “Scroll” LEDs flash at the keyboard if command mode is activated.

2.Press the “<Left Shift>” key and hold it down. You can now enter the index numbers of the various CPUs from the list of favorites with the keyboard and immediately switch to the video signal of the respective CPU after entering the index number.

3.Leave Scan Mode by pressing “<Left Shift> + <Esc>.”

NOTE: For optimal results, use identical resolutions. This contributes to a smooth and delay-free scan mode function.

5.1.3 Addressing Master and Slave

The ServSwitch DKM FX can be cascaded in two steps. You can optionally send the commands (including opening the OSD) to the master or the slave matrix.

Whenever command mode is activated, you can select by a <m> or a <s>, if all the following commands should be handled in the master or in the slave matrix.

OSD Access

•OSD access to the master matrix:

<Left Shift>, <Left Shift>, <m> (optional), <o>

•OSD access to the slave matrix:

<Left Shift>, <Left Shift>, <s>, <o>

Example: Switching to the CPU Port 23 of the slave matrix.

1.Switching to the CPU port (e.g. 12) of the master matrix that has the connection to the slave matrix:

<Left Shift>, <Left Shift>, <m> (optional), <1>, <2>, <Enter>
