APEX VIEWPOINT SYSTEM
SWITCHING TO A COMPUTER
The most common ViewPoint operation is switching
either a user’s keyboard, mouse, and monitor or just
the monitor (video) between computers. Switching
disconnects either the keyboard, mouse, and monitor
or only the video from one computer and connects
them to another. When switching any user to a
selected computer, ViewPoint reconfigures the
keyboard, mouse, and monitor to suit the newly
connected computer, while saving each computer’s
keyboard settings for the next use.
To switch to a computer:
1
Press PRINT SCREEN; the OSCAR Selection
screen appears.
2 Use the ARROW keys (or PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN,
HOME, and END keys) to select the computer to
which you want to switch.
—or in port mode—
Press the key that corresponds to computer’s
port number, then press ENTER.
For example, to select the computer connected
to Port 2, press PRINT SCREEN, 2, ENTER. If the
computers are listed by their assigned names,
they will be in alphabetical order.
—or in names mode—
Type the first few letters of the computer name
to establish it as unique, then press ENTER.
For example, to select “Accounting,” type ACC,
then press ENTER.
3 The status flag displays one of two messages:
Switch Completed: computer is now connected.
—or—
Access Denied: another user has control over
the computer.
