the user switches from one port to another, the keyboard is set up just as it was prior to switching to another port. The mouse behaves in a similar manner.

2.3 System Control

The USB ServerSwitch is controlled either by using the UP and DOWN arrows on the front panel of the unit or via On-Screen Menus from their Console (Keyboard, Monitor and Mouse).

The USBSS is a transparent device to the User. The User (of which there may be one or two) can select which server they wish to access from their Console, from up to 8 connected Servers. In cases where two or more USBSS units have been cascaded, additional Servers can be accessed by the two Users, up to a maximum of 64 Servers (8 units cascaded in all).

To access the USBSS’s switching capability, the User must “wake up” the on- screen display to control the system by pressing both ‘Cntl’ keys simultaneously (referred to as ‘Cntl-Cntl’), or press the Scroll Lock key twice (within one second) on their keyboard.

If the system administrator is near the USBSS (for example, in a backroom location), the sysadmin may instead select a server by using the Up and Down buttons on the front of the unit. The display will scan through which Servers are available, if auto-scan is active. Server selection can also be accomplished manually by pressing the Up arrow or Down arrow buttons. To select between User A and User B, press both Up and Down buttons on the front panel of the USBSS at the same time to shift between the two users.
