The mouse can be used to control command mode as well as the keyboard. The mouse cursor can be moved to the Help and Exit fields, which can be then clicked on to perform that function. The port that is on the screen can be selected by moving the cursor onto that port and clicking. Clicking twice on a selected port will switch to that port and exit COMMAND Mode. To change the displayed ports on the screen click on the up and down arrows that are located to the right of the port names displayed.
Note: Exit COMMAND Mode to type to a CPU. To exit COMMAND Mode, press <Esc>, or press <Ctrl> + <` >(accent) keys simultaneously or by clicking the “ESC” command on the screen with the mouse.
Note: When in SCAN Mode, stop the SCAN cycle temporarily by typing or moving the mouse. That CPU will remain selected on that port as long as there is typing or mouse movement. SCAN will continue after all keyboard or mouse activity ceases and the configured scan time (from chart above) expires.
Edit Mode
Edit mode (press <Ctrl> - <E> from Command Mode menu) allows the user to modify the names of the CPUs connected to the switch. Names of CPUs can be up to 12 characters in length. When in Edit mode, multiple keystroke combinations are not valid (<SHIFT>+<P>, <CTRL>+<P>, <ALT>+<P>, and <P> will all type a “P” to the display - lower case letters cannot be typed). After changes have been made, answer the question asked. Answer "Y" to save changes and answer "N" to continue using previously entered port names. The <Esc> key will exit EDIT Mode and abort any EDIT session.
