KVM-Switch mask switching
Unlike the KVM-List mask that shows only the CPU ports that are accessible based on the User Matrix and Console
Matrix set-up, the KVM-Switch mask shows all CPU Ports regardless of their accessibility. To switch to a CPU port,
select (highlight) the port and press the <SPACE> bar. This will switch the video only to your COM port. Selecting a
CPU port and pressing the <RETURN> key will switch the video and control to your COM port.
