SERVSWITCH WIZARD PRO
4.2 Configuring the ServSwitch Wizard Pro
The ServSwitch Wizard Pro comes from the factory preset to default configuration
settings which are suitable for most applications. If you need to set the Switch
differently, you can access its “configuration mode” to do so; once you do, the
new settings are stored in the ServSwitch Wizard Pro’s EEPROM memory and
are retained when the Switch is powered OFF.
4.2.1 E NTERING C ONFIGURATION M ODE
You can access the ServSwitch Wizard Pro’s configuration mode in either of two
different ways: Use one method when you power up the Switch; use the other
while the Switch is operating.
• To enter configuration mode at power-up, make sure that the ServSwitch
Wizard Pro and all attached PCs are turned OFF and unplugged. Hold down
the front-panel pushbutton while you plug in the ServSwitch Wizard Pro (if
you’re using the optional power supply) or power up one or more of the
attached PCs (if you’re not using the Switch’s power supply); do not release
the button until the ServSwitch Wizard Pro displays “C” to show that it is in
configuration mode.
• To enter configure mode while the ServSwitch Wizard Pro is running, hold
down the button for 5 seconds until the front-panel display shows “C”.
In configuration mode, you can change settings by typing a single-letter command
(for a given feature), followed by a single-digit numeric argument (for how you
want that feature to behave), followed by the [Enter] key. Press the [Esc] (escape)
key to abort a setting change before you fully enter it. The ServSwitch Wizard Pro
will remain in configuration mode until you type the letter “E” followed by [Enter]
key.
For example: To set the hotkey sequence to option #2 ([Ctrl] + [Shift] +
command key), type [H][2][Enter] while the ServSwitch Wizard Pro is displaying
“C”, then type [E][Enter] to exit configuration mode.
The remaining sections of this chapter describe the Switch’s user-configurable
settings.
