Selecting Servers

Use the Main dialog box to select the servers. When you select a server, the iKVM recongures the keyboard and mouse to the proper

settings for that server.

• To select servers, do one of the following:

– Double-click the server name or the slot number.

– If the display order of your server list is by slot (that is, the Slot button is depressed), type the slot number and press <Enter>.

– If the display order of your server list is by name (that is, the Name button is depressed), type the rst few characters of the server

name, establish it as unique, and press <Enter> twice.

• To select the previous server, press <Print Screen> and then <Backspace>. This key combination toggles between the previous and

current connections.

• To disconnect the user from a server, do one of the following:

– Press <Print Screen> to access OSCAR and then click Disconnect.

– Press <Print Screen> and then <Alt> <0>. This leaves you in a free state, with no server selected. The status ag on your desktop,

if active, displays Free. See Setting Status Flag Display

Soft Switching

Soft switching is switching between servers using a hotkey sequence. Press <Print Screen> to soft switch to a server and then type the

rst few characters of its name or number. If you have previously set a delay time (the number of seconds before the Main dialog box is

displayed after <Print Screen> is pressed) and if you press the key sequences before that time has elapsed, the OSCAR interface does not

display.
