SERVSWITCH™ WIZARD
5.3 The Status Display
The ServSwitch Wizard’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 (see the top
illustration in Figure 5-2). If you select autoscan mode, however, the display will
alternately (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 Wizard is in configuration mode, it will display “C”. If the
Wizard has been locked, it will display “P” until a valid password has been typed to
unlock the Wizard. Finally, if the screen-saver mode has been activated, the
channel number will flash.
