CHAPTER 5: Operation
5.9 Resetting the Keyboard and Mouse
You can have the ServSwitch Duo/Quadro perform a complete power-off reset of
any user station’s keyboard and mouse. This can be useful if you want to
disconnect and replace the keyboard or mouse at a station.
Keyboards will re-enable themselves automatically if they’re disconnected and
then reconnected to the Duo/Quadro. Mice won’t normally re-enable themselves
after they’ve been disconnected and reconnected, although they’ll do so
automatically if the Duo’s/Quadro’s channel has been changed while the mouse is
disconnected (see Section 5.7).
Consequently, you’ll normally need to perform a power-off reset of the user
station if you’ve disconnected and reconnected a mouse. The power-off reset only
affects the selected station; it doesn’t affect any of the other user stations or any of
the computers. Also, the power-off reset affects only local equipment; it has no
effect on the keyboard and mouse at any remote user station attached to the Duo’s
user port #1 or the Quadro’s user port #1 or #3 through a ServSwitch Duo
Extender.
To perform a power-off reset of a user station:
1. If it’s not already selected, press the USER button on the Duo’s/Quadro’s
front panel to select the user port whose keyboard and mouse you want to
reset. The number of that user port should appear in the green USER
7-segment LED.
2. Press and hold down the USER button for 5 seconds until the USER LED
goes dark. The keyboard and mouse at that port’s station will then be
powered off.
3. As soon as the USER LED goes dark, release the USER button. The LED will
then come back on, and a few seconds later the keyboard and mouse will be
powered on and ready for use.
