Each ServSwitch Wizard Pro uses a special “query code” to detect whether or not

it is connected in a cascade to another ServSwitch Wizard Pro, ServSwitch Wizard,

or ServSwitch Duo. By default, your Switch uses query code “AD” hex; this code

should be fine for most applications. However, older ServSwitch Duo units with

firmware versions earlier than 1.09 always use query code “EF” hex, and because

it is essential that all of the units in a ServSwitch Wizard/Duo cascade use the same

query code, you’ll need to change the Pro’s query code to “EF” if any of those

older Duo units are hooked up to your cascade.

L7 Cascade-query code = “AD” (default

)

L8 Cascade-query code = “EF”

WITCHING

In the ServSwitch Wizard Pro’s factory-default state, you can use a three-button

PS/2 mouse or an IntelliMouse to cycle through the Switch’s CPU channels. To

switch to the next channel, simply hold down the center or “wheel” button on the

mouse, then press its left button. If you don’t want to use this feature—particularly

if it’s going to conflict with mouse-controlled application functions—you can

disable it by sending the [U][2], [U][3], or [U][5] command. If the third button

on a three-button mouse is being used to switch the ServSwitch Wizard Pro, it

won’t be available for use with PC software, although the wheel on an IntelliMouse

can be used for both switching and software with no problems. For this reason,

we’ve included the [U][1], [U][2], and [U][4] command options, which cause

the ServSwitch Wizard Pro to report to the attached PCs that they are attached

to a 2-button mouse. If you want to use all the functions of a 3-button mouse or

IntelliMouse for your PC software, you should send the Switch the [U][3] or

[U][5] command.

The ServSwitch Wizard Pro supports “Internet mice” that are compatible with

the Microsoft IntelliMouse. These are fitted with a wheel or other type of scrolling

control and sometimes have additional buttons. Examples are:

• Microsoft IntelliMouse

• Logitech Pilot Mouse+

• Logitech MouseMan+

• Genius NetMouse

• Genius NetMouse Pro

You can connect either a standard PS/2 mouse or an IntelliMouse compatible

mouse to the Switch’s control port. You can configure your CPUs using Microsoft

PS/2 or IntelliMouse drivers in any combination as required.
