5.13 Cascading ServSwitch Duos
5.12 RS-232 Control
For an example of hotkey switching, consider a situation in which two ServSwitch Duo units, unit “A” and unit “B,” are connected together as shown in Figure 5-1 on page 42. To select the computer attached to port 3 on ServSwitch Duo “B,” you would press and hold down the hotkeys, then press and release “2,” press and release “3,” and finally release the hotkeys. This causes the master Switch, unit “A,” to switch to its port 2, to which the subsidiary Switch is attached, and send the subsidiary Switch the command to switch to port 3, to which your desired computer is attached. If there were any 12- or 16-port Switches in the system, you would have to use two digits to designate each port, inserting a leading zero when necessary
