NOTE: If OSCAR Authentication has been enabled, an “Authenticating” screen will appear after you select a target
device because the DSR switch is confirming your access to that target device. If you are denied access to the target
device, a message will appear saying that you can not view that particular target device.
To select the previous target device:
Press Print Screen and then Backspace. This key combination toggles you between the
previous and current connections.
To disconnect from a target device:
Press Print Screen and then Alt+0 (zero). This leaves the user in a free state, with no target
device selected. The status flag on your desktop displays Free.
Soft switching
Soft switching is the ability to switch target devices using a hotkey sequence. You can soft
switch to a target device by pressing Print Screen and then typing the first few characters of its
name or number. If you have set a Screen Delay Time and you press the key sequences before
that time has elapsed, the OSCAR interface will not display.
To soft switch to a target device:
Press Print Screen. If the display order of the Main dialog is by port (the Port button is
depressed), type the port number and press Enter.
-or-
If the display order of the Main dialog is by name (the Name button is depressed), type the first
few letters of the name of the target device to establish it as unique and press Enter.
To switch back to the previous target device, press Print Screen then Backspace.
Viewing the status of your DSR switching system
