CHAPTER 5: Operation

5.8 On-Screen Menu Control

Another convenient way to select CPU channels on the ServSwitch Duo is through the Switch’s on-screen menu. This menu consists of channel numbers (and, in cascaded systems, channel addresses) paired with computer names that you assign. The menu is called up by pressing the hotkey sequence followed by the letter “M” at the shared keyboard. When the menu is first called up, there will be no names listed for any of your computers; you have to enter the names and channel numbers that will make up the menu. (When you’re finished, press [Esc] to exit.)

In the menu for 4-port and 8-port models, channel numbers and addresses are shown as single digits:

Computer	Port
NT Server A	355
NT Server B	356
Local IBM PC	1
Local Compaq PC	2
Web Browser	4
Comms Server A	5
Comms Server B	6
Fred’s PC	7

In the menu for 12-port and 16-port models, channel numbers and addresses are shown as double digits:

Computer	Port
NT Server A	030505
NT Server B	030506
Local IBM PC	01
Local Compaq PC	02
Web Browser	04
Comms Server A	05
Comms Server B	06
Jim’s PC	12

In each case, the dot (“ ”) shows the currently selected computer.
