The Hot Key is a sequence of three keys that must be pressed
simultaneously to switch from one Smart Switch Port to another. For
example, the hot key sequence, <Left Shift> <ALT>
<A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|N> states that the left shift, Alt, and either A, B, C,
D, E, F, G, H, or N must be pressed at the same time to select the
corresponding Smart Switch Port. N turns off all Smart Switch ports.
Then press the Address Character where the desired port is
located. This character is represented by a hexadecimal number
from "0 to 9" and "A to F". The address for the 232XSSD4 is
always zero (0) and the 232PEs can be set from 1 through 15 (1 to 9
and A to F). The Address Character is not required when turning off
ports.

Selecting Ports
There are two different ways in which a Smart Switch port is
selected: either through the command line or by pressing the pre-
defined hot key sequence after the XSSTSR was installed. When a
request to change ports is made, using either method, first the
current port is turned off, and then the port selected is turned on.
The two methods are described as follows:
