Cycling Between Servers

Cycle refers to the capability to connect to one or more authorized servers from the server to which you are currently connected. Through the OSD menus or by using a keyboard shortcut, you have immediate access to all configured and authorized servers.

There are two types of cycle commands:

•Cycle by Server – View all authorized servers on a continuous basis until all servers have been exhausted and then start over again.

•Cycle by Key Sequence – View or access the server connected to the next or previous port in the Connection Menu list.

The servers are cycled in the order in which their ports are listed in the Server Connection form.

TTo Initiate Cycle by Server

1.From the Connection Menu, choose Cycle.

2.Select Cycle at the bottom of the list.

The system initiates the cycle from the first authorized server, and the servers connected to all authorized ports appear for a few moments. If there is no device attached to the port associated with the next logical port, a message appears to indicate that there is no device connected.

3.To abort the process and close the session, press the escape sequence.
