Switching control by computer
The OPTIONS port allows an external serial input, typically from a computer, to 
control the selection of the various channels. You can use either the su\
pplied 
flash	upgrade	cable	(part	number	VSC40)	or	alternatively	construct	a	custom	
cable to link the CCS4-USB switch and the computer. For pin-out details \
of the 
custom cable, see Appendix 1.
Upon receipt of the correct code, the CCS4-USB will switch...

switch to accurately map the movement of the mouse onto corresponding 
movements of the pointer across the screens. The screen names, if used, \
are 
not downloaded to the CCS4-USB switch.
