SERVSWITCH™
5.6 The “Computer Select Window”
You can bring up a “computer select window” on the shared monitor’s screen to
select a specific computer from a list of computers attached to the ServSwitch.
Access the window, shown in Figure 5-11 below, by pressing and releasing the left
[Ctrl] key and then hitting the [Esc] (escape) key. The arrow in the column after
the computer number points to the currently selected computer.
Figure 5-11. The “computer select window.”
Just as it does with the configuration menus and computer labels, the ServSwitch
overlays the “computer select window” on top of your current video. Use the up-
and down-arrow keys on the shared keyboard to select the desired computer; when
it is highlighted, hit [Enter] to immediately switch to that computer (its label will
be shown). If you have more than 16 computers in your ServSwitch system, use the
[PageUp] and [PageDown] keys to access the other computers, at up to
16 computers per window. Hit [Esc] to exit the window and remove it from the
screen.
Use the “Configure overlay” page to set the position and color of the window
(see Section 5.4.2). The height of the window will vary depending on the current
“maximum computers” (maximum ports) setting. For instance, if maximum
computers is set to 6, the window will have slots for only 6 computer names.
