Using the OSD Reset Command The console switch stores mouse and keyboard connection and rate data and uses this information to emulate the physical mouse and keyboard. If communication between the console switch and mouse and keyboard fails, the selected server may not function. The Reset command takes the mouse and keyboard information that was saved in Snapshot and sends it to the server to re-establish connection with the mouse and keyboard. Resetting the mouse and keyboard attempts to restore the correct settings for the selected computer. Because the console switch emulates the physical mouse and keyboard, it allows a computer without an attached keyboard or mouse to operate as though there were a physical device attached to it. To reset the mouse and keyboard values, click Reset. NOTE: If this does not correct the problem, press the Reset button on the back panel of the console switch. Devices Screen If the system includes one or more secondary console switches in a tiered configuration, the user must make the primary console switch aware of the secondary console switch by assigning a specific device type. In addition, if one or more of the computers in the console switch system have a special type of monitor, it may be necessary to assign that monitor type to the port associated with that computer.
