CHAPTER 5: Operation

5.6 Selecting Computers with the Mouse

Yet another convenient way to select CPU channels on the ServSwitch Duo/

Quadro is by using a three-button mouse, if this feature is enabled (see

Section 4.7.7). As shown in Figure 5-4, to switch to the next channel, hold down

the central mouse button or “wheel” button (colored black in the illustration),

then click on the left-hand mouse button (colored gray in the illustration).

If password security has been set (see Section 4.3), mouse switching will select

the next available channel. Otherwise it will select the next channel in numeric

sequence.

If mouse switching is disabled, presses of the center button or wheel button on

the mouse are passed through to the computers and can be detected by your

application software.

NOTE

Switching between computers with the mouse is suitable for systems

with just a few computers. But for systems with more computers, it’s

usually easier to use the on-screen menu for computer selection.
