Command 

Keystroke Sequence  Description 

Select CPU 

[Ctrl]  1  or 
[Ctrl]  2 

Switch your monitor, keyboard, and mouse access to the specified 
computer (1 or 2) 

Switch to the Other 
CPU 

[Ctrl]  [+]  or 
[Ctrl]  [ -] 

Switches to the other CPU for monitor, keyboard, and mouse access 

Start Scanning 

[Ctrl]  S 

Turns Scan mode ON, causing the Jr. LP to scan back and forth between the 
two CPUs. 

Stop Scanning 

[Ctrl]  X 

Turns Scan mode OFF, giving you access to the CPU being scanned when 
the command is entered.  (Scans can also be stopped by entering a Select 
CPU or Switch CPU command.) 

Reset Keyboard 
and Mouse 

[Ctrl]  R 

Causes the Jr. LP to reset the attached keyboard and mouse. 

Send Null Byte to 
Resync Mouse 

[Ctrl]  N 

Causes the Jr. LP to send a “null byte” to the CPU’s PS/2 mouse port. Enter 
this command to correct the selected CPU if it gets “out of sync” with the 
mouse. 

Reset Computer’s 
Mouse Port 

[Ctrl]  O 

Causes the Jr. LP to try to get the currently selected CPU to reset its PS/2 
mouse port. 

Identify ROM 

[Ctrl]  I 

Causes the Jr. LP to report the version of ROM it is using.  Enter this 
command if you are asked to do so by a Technical Support person. 

Keep Settings 

[Ctrl]  K 

Enter this command after you enter any of the four commands listed below 
(It saves the new settings to nonvolatile memory): 

Set Scan-Delay  
Time 

[Ctrl]  Txx [Enter] 
(xx  = 1 to 15) 

Sets the time, in seconds, that the ServSwitch Jr. LP will pause at each  
CPU when scanning. 

Set Mouse Mode 

[Ctrl] Qx [Enter] 
(x = 0, 1, or 2) 

For the selected CPU, Q1 translates PS/2 mouse input to serial mouse 
output, Q2 forces PS/2 wheel-mouse output, and Q0 resets to normal PS/2 
non-wheel-mouse-output. 

Set Keyboard Mode 

[Ctrl] Mx [Enter]  
(x = 1,2, or 3) 

Tells the Jr. LP the keyboard mode (1, 2, or 3) of the currently selected  
CPU. 

Set Keyboard 
Typematic 

[Ctrl] Axxx [Enter] 
(xxx = decimal value 
from 0 to 127; see 
below) 

Sets the keyboard typematic (automatic key-repeat) function of the currently 
selected CPU, as described in the table below. 

 

The keyboard typematic is an internal seven-bit value maintained by some keyboards.  The last five bits control the typematic  
rate (how often a held-down key repeats); the first two bits control typematic delay (how long a key must be held down before it  
starts to repeat).  Add the two values together to get the value of the argument for the Set Keyboard Typematic command:
