Chapter 3: Operations 31
Resetting your Mouse
If your mouse locks up during normal use with the AutoView, you may be
able to re-establish operation by issuing a reset command. The reset command
sends a hot-plug sequence to the server. The hot-plug sequence to a Plug
and Play server causes the mouse settings to be sent to the AutoView. With
communication re-established, functionality is restored to you.
To reset the mouse values:
1. Press the Control key twice to access the Administrator Channel List.
2. Press the Control key twice more to access the Command Menu.
3. Highlight either Reset Standard Mouse/Keyboard or Reset Wheel
Mouse/Keyboard, depending on the type of mouse you are using.
4. Press Enter to activate the reset.
Displaying Version Information
Use the Version screen to display the system firmware. This information
facilitates system troubleshooting and support. For optimum performance,
keep your firmware current.
To display version information:
1. Press the Control key twice to access the Administrator Channel List.
2. Press the Control key twice more to access the Command Menu.
3. Highlight Version Information and press Enter. The Version Screen appears.
Keyboard Switching
One of the ways to change the active channel in a non-secured AutoView
system is by entering a short sequence of keystrokes on the keyboard. This is
called keyboard, hotkey or soft switching. In addition, there are a variety of
commands that can be activated via the keyboard without having to access the
OSD. The following procedures and tables describe your many options.
NOTE: Hotkey switching is only available in the default non-secure state. For more information
on security, see Setting User Station Security in this chapter.
Using the Command Mode
The first set of keystrokes places your system in Command Mode. A blue
window with a line for commands will appear. As long as you are operating in
Command Mode, whatever you type will be interpreted as channel switch
