Saving the Hardware Settings
Whenever computers are added or removed, to or from the system, or whenever the
mouse or monitor is changed, save the hardware settings. If the settings are not saved,
they are lost when power is lost or turned off, and it might be necessary to reboot
each computer to re-establish keyboard and mouse communication.
To save the hardware settings:
1. From the Commands menu in the Advanced Menus screen, highlight
Snapshot.
2. Press the Enter key.
Resetting the Mouse and Keyboard
If the keyboard or mouse locks up, the user may be able to recover the device settings
by resetting the console switch. Resetting the mouse and keyboard attempts to restore
the correct settings for the selected computer.
To reset the mouse and keyboard values:
1. From the Commands menu in the Advanced Menus screen, highlight Reset and
press the Enter key.
2. If step 1 does not correct the problem, press the Reset button on the back panel of
the console switch.
