SERVSWITCH DUO™

5.8.1ADDING A COMPUTER TO THE MENU LIST

With the menu visible on the screen, press the [Insert] key. This will cause a new “Computer” entry field to be inserted on the menu. This is highlighted in red with a flashing cursor to indicate the text entry position. Type in a name up to

16 characters long (you can use uppercase, lowercase, special, and space characters). When you’re finished, press [Enter].

The red highlighted area now moves into the “Port” entry field, and you can enter the port number for the named computer. Specify port numbers with single digits on the 4- and 8-port models and double digits on the 12- and 16-port models (adding a leading zero if necessary). If you are using cascaded ServSwitch Duo units, you’ll have to specify the whole channel address (see Section 5.13 and the “{Hotkeys} + {Channel Address}” paragraph in Section 5.7). To specify CPU port 5 on a subsidiary Switch that is cascaded off CPU port 3 of the master Switch, you would enter the channel address as “35” on 4- and 8-port models or as “0305” on 12- or 16-port models. (Remember that units should not be cascaded more than three layers deep.) Press [Enter] again to complete the entry and store it in the Switch’s menu memory. The menu can hold over 300 entries.

Note that you can add another computer to the menu list at any time, and you can continue adding computers without exiting the menu. Just press [Insert] again to add an entry after the current line, or press [Shift] and [Insert] to add an entry before the current line, then input the new name as already described.

5.8.2DELETING A COMPUTER FROM THE MENU LIST

With the menu visible on the screen, highlight the computer to be deleted and press the [Delete] key. Press [Enter] to confirm the deletion or [Esc] to abort it.

5.8.3EDITING A COMPUTER ON THE MENU LIST

With the menu visible on the screen, highlight the computer to be edited and press the [Shift] and [Delete] keys together. Type in the new computer name and port, then press [Enter] to save your changes or [Esc] to abort them.
