[Switching Via Mouse]
The mouse may also be used to control the OSD (instead of the keyboard):
1. Scroll the mouse up & down to select a host (channel) on the left side of the OSD.
2. If a cascade-connected channel is selected, the state of the selected slave device is shown on the right side of
the OSD.
3. If a cascade-connected channel is selected, pressing the right mouse key causes control to switch to the right
(slave) side of the OSD, with the currently selected cascaded host shown in purple. Press the left mouse key
to return control to the left (master) side of the OSD.
4. On the right side of the OSD, scroll the mouse up & down as before to select a cascaded host (channel).
5 Press the center mouse key to actually effect the console switch to the selected host. The name of the host
switched to is shown at the top-left of the screen for about 3 seconds after the switch is effected.
