CHAPTER 5: Operation
5.15 Querying the Routing Status
It’s sometimes useful to know which KVM consoles are connected to which
computers with which types of access (shared use, exclusive use, or video only). For
example, if the ServSwitch Duo/Quadro denies you access to a certain computer,
you might want to check on whether another user has selected that computer for
exclusive use.
To query the routing status (that is, the status of users’ computer selection and
access), press [F1] at the main on-screen menu for MORE MENUS, then select
ROUTING STATUS. A routing-status window such as that shown in Figure 5-12 will
be displayed for ten seconds. (If you want the window to disappear before ten
seconds are up, press [Esc].) In the window:
• “User 1” is the user at either station (local or remote) attached to user port #1
on the standalone or master Duo/Quadro,
• “User 2” is the one on user port #2,
• “User 3” is the one at either station on user port #3, and
• “User 4” is the one on user port #4.
The window for a ServSwitch Duo will always say “NO USER” for User 3 and User 4.
