Black Box KV6104SA Operation, Type of mouse, Driver type, Probable, system connected, expected

CHAPTER 5: Operation

If you have powered down your ServSwitch Duo, or if you are attempting to hot- plug a system into it, you may be able to restore lost mouse movement using the ServSwitch Duo's mouse-restoration functions.

Mouse-restoration functions should be used with caution, because unpredictable results may occur if the wrong mouse type is selected. If in doubt, restore the mouse by rebooting the PC normally.

Standard PS/2 mouse data uses a different data format than IntelliMouse data, so two reset functions are provided on the ServSwitch Duo. The type of data format expected by the PC depends upon the driver and the type of mouse that was connected when the driver was booted. The following table may be used as a guide; note that the mouse-reset functions predict the likely mouse resolution settings but may not restore the speed or sensitivity of the mouse exactly as they were when the PC originally booted:

Type of mouse/	Driver type:	Probable	Suggested
system connected		expected	restoration
at bootup:		data format:	command:
PS/2	PS/2 only	PS/2	F5
PS/2	IntelliMouse	PS/2	F5
IntelliMouse	PS/2 only	PS/2	F5
IntelliMouse	IntelliMouse	IntelliMouse	F6

To restore lost mouse movement on a CPU connected to the ServSwitch Duo:

1.Select the CPU that has lost its mouse movement.

2.Press and hold the SELECT button on the front of the ServSwitch Duo for five seconds until “C” appears in the front-panel display. The Switch is now in configuration mode.

3.To restore a PS/2 mouse connection, type the letter “F” followed by the number “5” followed by [Enter]. Or, to restore an IntelliMouse connection, type the letter “F” followed by the number “6” followed by [Enter].

4.Exit from configure mode by typing the letter “E” followed by [Enter].

5.Test the mouse movement by moving the mouse a short distance.
