Selecting Servers
Use the Target tab in the OSCAR dialog box to connect to servers. When you
connect to a server, the AMX reconfigures the keyboard and mouse to the
appropriate settings for the selected server.
To select a server:
1. Press Ctrl+Ctrl to launch OSCAR.
2. Click the Target tab and select the appropriate access mode: Shared,
Private or Maintain.
3. Double-click the server name.
-or-
Click the server name and then click the Connect button.
To disconnect from a selected server, activate OSCAR and click the
Disconnect button or switch to another server.
To scan an AMX system:
1. Press Ctrl+Ctrl to launch OSCAR.
2. Select the Target tab and click the Scan radio button.
3. Press and hold the Ctrl key while you individually select the servers that
you would like to scan. Alternately, if you wish to select a group of servers
in sequence, you can click the first server in the list, press and hold the
Shift key and select the last server to highlight the list.
4. Click the Start button to begin scanning.
Once scanning is initiated, the AMX will cycle through the selected servers in
alphabetical order. If the user has full access rights to the current server and the
AMX user station detects keyboard or mouse activity, scanning is suspended.
This allows the user to work with the server. When mouse and keyboard
activity stops, scanning resumes with the next channel in sequence. If the user
has view only access rights to the current server, scanning will not be
suspended if the user types on the keyboard or moves the mouse. The length of
time each server channel remains on screen, or dwell time, is configurable and
can be changed at any time through the User tab. Default dwell time is three
seconds. To halt scanning, press Ctrl+Ctrl and click the Stop button.
