Soft Switching
Soft switching is the ability to switch devices using a hotkey sequence. You can
soft switch to a device by pressing <Print Screen>, and then depending on the
method you’ve selected, typing the first few characters of its name or number. If
you have set a Screen Delay Time for the OSCAR interface and you press the
key sequences before that time has elapsed, the OSCAR interface will not be
displayed.
To soft switch to a device:
Press <Print Screen>, type the port number and the first few letters of the
name of the device, to establish it as unique and press <Enter>.
To switch back to the previous device, press <Print Screen> and then
<Backspace>.
