Initial startup

When the UNIMUX is first powered ON, a splash screen similar to the following will appear:

Press any key and the UNIMUX will connect you to the first CPU port with a connected CPU that is powered ON.

To access Command Mode and connect to a different port or perform other user access functions (see below), press <Ctrl> + <`> (accent/tilde key).

User Access Functions

Command Mode

In order to control the switch with the keyboard, Command Mode must be enabled. To enable Command Mode from the keyboard:

Press

Ctrl

+

~

(ACCENT/TILDE

`

KEY)

 

 

 

 

 

All the status lights on the keyboard will illuminate to indicate that Command Mode is enabled. At this point, the Command Mode menu will be displayed.

The Command Mode menu (see Figure 10) lists all CPUs by name and port number. Only 8 ports are listed on the screen at a time. To view the other portions of the list, scroll using the arrow keys on the keyboard or use the mouse to click on the arrows on the scroll bar in the OSD menu. When the Command Mode main menu is displayed, the first displayed port in the list will be the port the current user is connected to, followed by the next seven consecutively numbered ports. (Alternatively the list may be sorted alphabetically- press the letter <O> to toggle sort method.) The names of accessible ports are displayed with blue characters. If Security is activated, the access rights for the user logged-in may not include all ports. Names of restricted access ports are displayed in black.

Note: In a cascaded system (see page 37), if a switch is connected to a port, all the names of the ports of the slave switch will be displayed instead of the name of that port of the master switch. This rule applies recursively to all slave switches. If one of the slave switches is powered-OFF during operation, the Status field in the ports name list will display question marks. In this situation, the user should either power-ON the slave switch or send an Update Configuration Command (<Ctrl> + <Tab>). If the slave switch is powered back ON without updating the configuration and security is enabled, the text in the window for CPU type and power status will turn red until the configuration is updated. (The red text indicates that the slave switch was logged out.)
