Black Box ServSwitch CX 用户手册

of procedures that affect various aspects of 
ServSwitch CX operation. Only the Admin 
user is granted access to all functions, other 
users are offered only the following options:

•  Restore Standard Mouse, 
•  Restore Intellimouse,
•  Power control - only servers to which a 

user has access rights can be switched.
