MULTI-HEAD SERVSWITCH™
4.2.6 C HOOSING
A CTIVE P ORTS OR A LL P ORTS FOR K EYBOARD -T AB AND M OUSE S WITCHING
In the Multi-Head ServSwitch’s factory-default state, when you “cycle through” the
CPU ports on the Switch by pressing {Hotkeys} + [Tab] or when you switch to the
next or previous channel with your mouse, the Switch stops at every channel. It does
this even if the device attached to a particular channel is off or not outputting
video, or even if there isn’t any device attached to that channel. (The Switch will
display a blank screen for such channels.) But if you’d rather have the Switch “skip
over” any ports that don’t have a powered-up computer connected to them, you
can send it the [U][8] command.
U7 Switch to all ports when switching with {Hotkeys} + [Tab] or with the mouse
(default
)
U8 Switch only to active ports when switching with {Hotkeys} + [Tab] or with
the mouse
The U7/U8 setting has no effect on autoscanning (see Section 4.2.3) or on
switching with {Hotkeys} + [digit], with the front-panel pushbutton, or through the
RS-232 serial interface.
