Rose electronic Not Avaliable manual Fix box to box mouse problems, Add set mode command

Fix selection of ports sometimes skipped on upper cards

When switching to a computer on an upper card, sometimes the switching would not occur. Switching to the computer again would work correctly.

Fix box to box mouse problems.

The box to box protocol would sometimes not be configured correctly and the mouse would be out of sync. Careful manual configuration would be able to correct the problem. The box is now easier to configure and forgiving of wrong configuration. If a wheel mouse is not used the box does not use any wheel mouse protocol.

Add set mode command

This command has been present in previous revisions of the switch. It has been added back in by request to make configuration easier. In particular please note the new settings to configure multi-platform boxes to all Sun or all Apple. This switch product family does not have an all Sun or all Apple member, so this makes configuration for the all Sun or all Apple environment easier.

Note there are three classes of mode command, for the CPU, for the keyboard, and for the mouse. Don't confuse the setting for a CPU's keyboard/mouse setting with the mouse itself. To change a CPU's keyboard/mouse setting you must first switch to that CPU. Changing the keyboard or mouse itself, you can be switched to any CPU.

Settings that apply to Apple and Sun are ignored on PC-only units. The mode command is inactive if a configuration password has been set. To enter the mode command, press and release the left control key, then the M key, then the mode value as shown below, and then the enter key. Don't use the numeric keypad for numeric keys or the enter key.

To save the setting in non-volatile memory, use the keep command by pressing and releasing the left control key and then the K key.
