NTI RACKMUX Console Drawer with UNIMUX Switch

Broadcast Mode

To activate Broadcast Mode press <Ctrl> + <B> from the Command Mode menu.

Broadcast Mode enables the user to type characters to more computers simultaneously. From the Change Settings menu (see page 13) the user can edit the list of ports that receive data in Broadcast Mode. A port doesn’t receive broadcast data if one of the following conditions is true:

-the port is not in the Broadcast Mode list

-Security Mode is enabled and the user does not have access rights to the port

NOTE: The user must type somewhat slowly when in Broadcast Mode (less than 20 wpm) and cannot use the <Backspace> key.

Scan Mode

To activate Scan Mode press <Ctrl> + <S> from the Command Mode menu.

When in Scan Mode the switch scans to each port with a CPU powered-ON. The port with the CPU powered-ON remains active while in use until it becomes idle for the configured dwell time (default time-out period is 5 seconds) before switching to the next powered-ON CPU port. See Command Mode section above for configuring the scan dwell time.

Note: The keyboard and mouse must remain idle for the full scan dwell time before the switch selects the next active port.

Note: The scan dwell time set by the user only effects that user and has no effect on other switch users.

Normal Mode

When the UNIMUX switch is not in Command or Scan mode, the user is in Normal Mode, controlling the CPU to which the user is connected through the UNIMUX switch.

Edit Mode

NOTE: Edit Mode will only be accessible if the administrator is logged in.

To activate Edit Mode press <Ctrl> + <E> from the Command Mode menu.

Edit Mode enables the user to modify the names of the CPUs connected to the switch. Names of CPUs can be up to 12 characters in length. When in Edit Mode, multiple keystroke combinations are not valid (<Shift>+P, <Ctrl>+P, <Alt>+ P, and P will all type a “P” to the display - lower case letters cannot be typed).

Function:

Move cursor one position to the right

Move cursor one position to the left
