IOGear GCS82B Switch User Manual


 
Last/Next Mode (GCS84B only)
This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them manually. You can dwell on a particular post for
as long or as little as you like (as opposed to Auto Scan Mode, which switches after a fixed interval). To invoke Last/Next
Mode, key in the following Hot Key combination.
1. Press and release [Alt+Ctrl+Shift]
2. Press and release [9]
3. Press Enter [Enter]
Once Last/Next Mode is active, pressing the left Shift key (LShift) switches to the previous computer (from the currently
active one), and pressing (RShift) switches to the next computer in the installation. Press [spacebar] to end the Last/Next
mode.
Note: 1. There is another, shorter HotKey combination to produce Last/Next Mode switching. Simply press the left Ctrl key twice
in succession [LCtrl] + [LCtrl] to switch to the previous computer, or press the right Ctrl key twice in succession [RCtrl] + [RCtrl] to
swich to the next computer. This method is available all the time. It does not have to be invoked first as in the case
of the Alt+Ctrl+Shift method.
2. While Last/Next Mode is in effect none of the other keyboard keys will function. You must exit Last/Next Mode by pressing the spacebar in order
to use the console for anything else.
