2504.0. "AS2100 Serial Mouse off COM1?" by QBUS::E_BURKHALTER () Mon Jan 27 1997 12:00

    
    A customer has a AS2100 with a Master Console Switch.
    The monitor and keyboard works fine off the
    Master Console Switch, but the mouse doesn't.
    
    They would like to know if they can use a SERIAL MOUSE
    off the COM1 port and still use the Monitor and
    Keyboard off the Master Console Switch.

    Ed,
       We have used the master console with a mouse. It works fine.
    
    Have him double check his cabling.

    From Mel Thebault - product manager for Master Console
    
            It appears they may have the mouse cables from MasterConsole to
    the servers crossed to the wrong server.  This would make it appear that
    there is no mouse.  You may be on server 1 with the switch, but your mouse
    could be crossed with server 2.
    
    
    You could use the mouse off the server directly if that's what they want
    to do.

2504.3info on MasterConsole pleaseUTOPIE::OETTLhide bug until worst timeTue Jan 28 1997 17:4112
Hello MasterConsole users,

can you tell me more about this thing, because I have a customer with some
A2100, A1000 and PC's who has a console switch, but it does not handle the
keyboards. Mouse and monitor switchover works ok.

So he sits within 8 keyboards at his console monitor.

Any pointers/suggestions welcome.

Thank you, Martin
