EFAULTS
For technical-support purposes, it might be necessary to find out the firmware-
release version of the control software in your ServSwitch Duo. Before calling Black
Box Tech Support about a problem, you can use the [F][1], [F][2], and [F][3]
commands to retrieve this; each of these commands causes the Switch to briefly
show one of the digits of the firmware’s version number on its front-panel display.
For example, if the Switch responds to [F][1][Enter] with the digit “1”, to
[F][2][Enter] with the digit “0”, and to [F][3][Enter] with the digit “2”, your
Switch is using firmware version 1.02.
You can also restore the function of previously disconnected PS/2 type CPU
mouse ports with the [F][5] and [F][6] commands (see Section 5.11) and you can
reset all of the Switch’s configuration options to their factory-default states with
[F][8].
F1 Display first digit of firmware-version number
F2 Display second digit of firmware-version number
F3 Display third digit of firmware-version number
F4 (Reserved for future use)
F5 Restore PS/2 mouse function to the currently selected CPU’s mouse port
F6 Restore IntelliMouse function to the currently selected CPU’s mouse port
F7 (Reserved for future use)
F8 Reset all configuration options to their factory-default settings (the Switch
will briefly show the letter “r” on its front-panel display to indicate that this
has been completed)
