CHAPTER 4: Operation: Hardware and Keyboard Commands

4.3 The Commands in Detail

4.3.1 S

ELECTING A

ORT FROM THE

HARED

EYBOARD

To select a port from your keyboard, press and release your keyboard’s left Control

key ([CTRL]), then type in the port number:

If “Maximum Ports” is set to 1 to 9: The ServSwitch will immediately switch to the

desired port when you press the one-digit number’s numeral key.

If “Maximum Ports” is set to 10 to 99: The ServSwitch will immediately switch to

the desired port when you press the two-digit number’s second numeral key. For

single-digit ports, you can enter the number by including a leading zero (“01” for

port 1) or by pressing [ENTER] after you press the single numeral key. If you press

the key of only one digit, and do not follow it with [ENTER], the Switch will wait

two seconds for you to press [ENTER] or another numeral key; then, if no key is

pressed, it will switch immediately to the single-digit port.

If “Maximum Ports” is set to 100 to 256: The ServSwitch will immediately switch

to the desired port when you press the three-digit number’s third numeral key. For

single- and double-digit ports, you can enter the number by including one or two

leading zeros (“001” for port 1 or “027” for port 27) or by pressing [ENTER] after

you press the single or second numeral key. As noted above, the Switch will wait

two seconds for you to enter another digit, then will switch to the partially entered

port number.

4.3.2 S

WITCHING TO THE

EXT OR

REVIOUS

ORT

From the keyboard you can go forward or backward through the ServSwitch’s ports

by selecting either the next or the previous port respectively. To switch to the next

port, press and release the left Control key ([CTRL]), then press the plus key (the

key at the top of the keyboard marked with [=] and [+]). To switch to the previous

port, press and release [CTRL], then press the minus key (the key at the top of the

keyboard marked with [–] and [_]). The command is not case-sensitive. Do not use

the [+] and [–] keys on the keyboard’s numeric pad; the Switch doesn’t recognize

these.

You can also select the next or previous port manually from the ServSwitch’s

front panel by pushing the button labeled “+” or “–” respectively. Each time you

press the button, the next or previous port in sequence is selected.
