EFAULTS

For technical-support purposes, it might be necessary to find out the firmware-

release version of the control software in your Multi-Head ServSwitch. Before

calling Black Box Tech Support about a problem, you can use the [F][1], [F][2],

and [F][3] commands to retrieve this; each of these commands causes the Switch

to briefly show one of the digits of the firmware’s version number on its front-panel

display. For example, if the Switch responds to [F][1][Enter] with the digit “1”, to

[F][2][Enter] with the digit “0”, and to [F][3][Enter] with the digit “2”, your

Switch is using firmware version 1.02.

You can also restore the function of previously disconnected PS/2 type CPU

mouse ports with the [F][5] and [F][6] commands (see Section 5.8) and you can

reset all of the Switch’s configuration options to their factory-default states with

[F][8].

F1 Display first digit of firmware-version number

F2 Display second digit of firmware-version number

F3 Display third digit of firmware-version number

F4 (Reserved for future use)

F5 Restore PS/2 mouse function to the currently selected CPU’s mouse port

F6 Restore IntelliMouse function to the currently selected CPU’s mouse port

F7 (Reserved for future use)

F8 Reset all configuration options to their factory-default settings (the Switch

will briefly show the letter “r” on its front-panel display to indicate that this

has been completed)
