SERVSWITCH™ SUMMIT
In the Selection Menu, each channel’s availability is visually indicated by the
following text colors. (For more information about Private Mode, Public View
Mode, and PC Share Mode, see “Operation Mode” in Section 6.2.)
• Black = No device is connected or the connected device is powered down.
• Green = Computer CPU is connected and the channel is active and available.
However, if the Summit system is in PC Share Mode, another user may
currently be accessing the computer.
• Red = Channel is unavailable, currently being accessed by another user. (This
only happens when the Summit system is in Private Mode.)
• Yellow = Channel is unavailable for control (being controlled by another user),
but video can be viewed. (This only happens when the Summit system is in
Public View Mode. Also refer to the paragraphs below for information about
other OSUI displays that appear when the system is in Public View Mode.)
• Purple = A second- or third-tier cascaded Base Unit is connected to this
channel (see Section 4.3).
• White = Channel’s current status is unknown. This should not happen if the
Summit is operating normally.
When the Summit system is set to Public View Mode (see Section 6.2), if one user
has already selected a computer, another user can also select it, but the second
user will only be able to view its video output; they won’t be able to control it or
input any data with the keyboard and mouse. While the system is in this mode, if
the “ID Display” parameter is enabled for your account (see Section 5.3), message
boxes will appear on screen as you and other users select various CPUs:
• When you select a computer that someone else is already controlling, the
message below (showing the name of the computer being viewed) will be
displayed on your monitor for the currently set “ID Display” interval. Press
[Esc] to return to the main Selection Menu.
• If another user chooses to view the video of a computer you have already
selected, you will see the messages shown below bearing that user’s name, for
the currently set “ID Display” interval. You’ll see the top message when the
second user begins viewing; you’ll see the bottom message when they stop
viewing because they’ve switched to another channel or logged out.
