SERVSWITCH DUO™
5.4 The Status Display
The ServSwitch Duo’s front-panel 7-segment status display usually shows the
number of the currently selected computer channel, while the dot LED alongside
it flashes in response to data from the shared keyboard or mouse, as shown in the
top illustration in Figure 5-1 below. If you select autoscan mode, however, the
display will alernately (a) display the current channel number and (b) light each of
its outer six LED segments, one after the other, in a clockwise sequence, as shown
in the second illustration. If the Switch is in configuration mode, it will display “C”.
If the Switch has been locked, it will display “P”, as shown in the third illustration,
until a valid password has been typed to unlock the unit. Lastly, if the screen-saver
mode has been activated, the channel number will flash.
