CHAPTER 4: Operation: Hardware and Keyboard Commands

4.3.6SET SCREEN-SAVER INTERVAL

This feature reduces the wear on your shared screen and provides security for your system by blanking the screen when there has been no keyboard activity for a specified length of time. To set the screen-saver interval, press and release the left Control key, type [V] followed by the interval time in seconds (1 to 999, or 0 to disable the screen saver), and press [ENTER]. Issue the Keep Settings command after you enter this command.

To reactivate the screen when it’s been blanked, press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse. The default setting of this option is 0 (screen saver disabled).

NOTE

When the ServSwitch is in the Screen-Saver state, all of its SELECT LEDs will be OFF.

4.3.7SET KEYBOARD/MOUSE (IBM AND MULTIPLATFORM REGULAR SERVSWITCHES ONLY)

If your ServSwitch is a Macintosh only or Sun only model, this command is ignored (the keyboard and mouse choices are “locked in”), because the Apple and Sun keyboard and mouse interfaces are consistent across the board and do not vary from model to model. You don’t have to enter this command on a ServSwitch Ultra or a regular ServSwitch with an Overlay Board installed, because setting the keyboard and mouse can be done easily through the on-screen display (see Sections 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.3.2, and 5.3.3).

For PC only or multiplatform regular ServSwitches in their original state, howver—unless you have the default setup (104/105-key keyboard, PS/2 or PS/2 wheel mouse, all CPUs IBM PC type and set for Mode 2 keyboard input and PS/2 mouse input)—you might have to specify your keyboard type, your mouse type, and/or the types of keyboard and mouse interfaces required by each of your CPUs. On the output side of the ServSwitch, PCs can have any of three different keyboard modes and several types of mouse interfaces; each of the ServSwitch’s CPU ports can be configured for any mix of keyboard mode and supported mouse interface. (The multiplatform Switch does not support using a keyboard from one platform with a mouse from a different platform: for example, an Apple keyboard with a PC or Sun mouse.) On the input side, the ServSwitch can accept input from any of three types of PC mice and either a standard multipurpose 101/102-key PC keyboard or a 104/105-key Windows 95/Windows 98 PC keyboard.

The following subsections explain keyboard types and modes and mouse interfaces in more detail, and also describe the command procedure and possible settings.
