CHAPTER 6: Keyboard Commands
6.4 Select Computer: [Ctrl] xxxx [Enter]
You can use this command (press and release left [Ctrl], then press and release
each of the numeric digits of the port number, then press and release [Enter]) as a
shortcut for directly selecting computers instead of doing so through the CPU list.
In this command, xxxx stands for the number of the CPU port that the computer is
attached to, up to a maximum of 1024. So, for example, if you wanted to select the
“3Flr Bkup Server”, CPU #27, you would press and release the left [Ctrl] key, then
press and release [2], then press and release [7], and finally press and release [Enter].
If your computer selection goes through, you will see a “Connection successful”
message (see Section 5.2.1), and you will have as much access to that computer as
your user profile’s connection-mode setting allows (see Sections 4.6 and 5.4). If
your selection fails, you will see a “Connection failed” message stating the reason
why (see Section 5.2.2).
6.5 Switch to the Next Port in Sequence: [Ctrl] [+]
You can use this command (press and release left [Ctrl], then press and release the
keypad plus [+] key at the right-hand end of your keyboard) to disconnect from
your currently selected computer and connect to the next-higher-numbered CPU
port that belongs to your user profile’s group. If the currently selected computer is
the highest-numbered computer in the group, the lowest-numbered computer in
the group is selected. If the currently selected computer is the only computer in
the group, this command has no effect other than briefly blanking the screen.
6.6 Switch to the Previous Port in Sequence: [Ctrl] [–]
You can use this command (press and release left [Ctrl], then press and release the
keypad minus [–] key at the right-hand end of your keyboard) to disconnect from
your currently selected computer and connect to the next-lower-numbered CPU
port that belongs to your user profile’s group. If the currently selected computer is
the lowest-numbered computer in the group, the highest-numbered computer in
the group is selected. If the currently selected computer is the only computer in
the group, this command has no effect other than briefly blanking the screen.
6.7 Switch to the Prior Port: [Ctrl] [←] or [Ctrl] [Backspace]
You can use this command (press and release left [Ctrl], then press and release the
[←] key or—depending on how your keyboard is labeled—the [Backspace] key) to
disconnect from your currently selected computer and reconnect to the computer
you were formerly connected to. This command is useful for toggling back and
forth between two computers. (If your currently selected computer is the only one
you’ve been connected to since logging in, this command has no effect.)
