SERVSWITCH™ AND SERVSWITCH ULTRA™
4.3.7.D Mouse Interfaces
IBM compatible CPUs can have several types of mouse interfaces. The ServSwitch
supports three of these: PS/2 (including PS/2 wheel), Microsoft serial, and PC
Mouse (Mouse Systems); see Section 4.3.7.B. PS/2 is the factory-default mouse-
interface setting for all of the CPU ports of PC-only and multiplatform
ServSwitches. Send a Set Keyboard/Mouse command to change the mouse
interface for a port if that CPU requires mouse input other than PS/2, or if you’ve
had the port set for a different mouse interface but are swapping in a CPU that
requires PS/2 mouse input. If you send the Switch a Set Keyboard/Mouse
command that attempts to change the mouse interface of a CPU port that is still
set for Sun or Mac keyboard input, the command will be ignored; you must change
the keyboard-mode setting first.
Note that the ServSwitch currently supports streaming or continuous mouse data
only. It cannot support computers such as the IBM ThinkPad that require bursty
mouse data.
