Selecting Servers

Use the Main dialog box to select servers. When you select a server, the 2161DS Console Switch

reconfigures the keyboard and mouse to the proper settings for that server.
To select servers:
Double-click the server name, EID or port number.

-or-

If the display order of your server list is by port (

Port button is depressed), type the port number

and press <Enter>.

If the display order of your server list is by name or EID number (

Name or EID button is

depressed), type the first few letters of the name of the server or the EID number to establish it as

unique and press <Enter> twice.
To select the previous server:
Press <Print Screen> and then <Backspace>. This key combination toggles you between the

previous and current connections.
To disconnect the analog user from a server:
Press <Print Screen> and then <Alt><Ø>. This leaves you in a free state, with no server

selected. The status flag on your desktop, if active, displays Free.

Soft Switching

Soft switching is the ability to switch servers using a hot key sequence. You can soft switch to a

server by pressing <Print Screen> and then typing the first few characters of its name or number.

If you have a Delay Time set and you press the key sequences before that time has elapsed, OSCAR

will not display.

NOTE:

If you have a PEM in your configuration and you are viewing servers in port order, you will only be

able to soft switch to the first server attached to the PEM.

To configure OSCAR for soft switching:

1

Press <Print Screen> to launch OSCAR. The Main dialog box appears.

2

Click Setup - Menu. The Menu dialog box appears.

3

For Delay Time, type the number of seconds of delay desired before the Main dialog box is

displayed after <Print Screen> is pressed.

4

Click OK.
