Use OSCAR menus to switch computers, that is, to select which
computer receives commands from and displays output to the
console. When you select a computer, the switch reconfigures
the keyboard and mouse for the selected computer using the
settings stored in its memory. The current information (for
example, the state of the Caps Lock key) is maintained for each
computer in the system. When configuration is complete, the
video output of the selected computer passes to the monitor and
subsequent keystrokes or mouse movement are relayed to the
connected system.
