CHAPTER 4: Operation: Hardware and Keyboard Commands
4.3.9 D
ISPLAY
L
ABEL
One of the ServSwitch’s graphic-overlay functions is to display the on-screen
“label”
window that contains the number and assigned name of the currently selected
CPU
(see Section 5.4.3). If this label is not on screen, you can use this command to
cause the Switch to display the label for the length of time you have configured for
the label’s “fadeout interval” (see Section 5.4.3.D), or, if fadeout is disabled, for
five seconds. (If fadeout is set to 255, the label will be displayed at all times.)
Conversely, if the label is being displayed and you want it to go away, issuing the
Display Label command while the label is on screen will cause it to disappear.
To issue the Display Label command, press and release the left Control key, then
type [D].

You can use this command to cause the ServSwitch to display its on-screen overlay
menus, beginning with the main menu (see Section 5.1.1). To issue the Activate
On-Screen Menus command, press and release the left Control key, then press and
release the [F12] key.

You can use this command to cause the ServSwitch to display its “computer select
window” (see Section 5.6). To issue the Activate Select Window command,
press
and release the left Control key, then press and release the [Esc] (escape) key.

If an access password has been set for your ServSwitch system (see Section 5.5.2),
you can use this command to log out (to relinquish access rights) when you’re
finished with a session at a user station. This will cause the ServSwitch to display an
“Enter password” prompt and stop accepting any keyboard and mouse input
except the access password; a few seconds later, it will blank the screen with the
currently selected screen saver. While no one is logged in—that is, until someone
correctly enters the access password—typing at the keyboard will cause the “Enter
password” prompt to briefly become visible, but otherwise, no computer video will
be displayed and no keyboard and mouse access will be allowed.
If no access password has been set for your system, you can use this command to
cause the ServSwitch to display its currently selected screen saver (see
Section 5.4.1.C). Normal video will be restored as soon as someone types at the
keyboard or moves the mouse.
To log out,
press and release the left Control key, then type [L].
