REMOTE UNIT CONFIGURATION & OPERATION

Hot Key Commands

After pressing the initial ‘hot’ key on the remote keyboard, you can issue a number of commands by pressing additional keys. These commands allow you to start a private mode session on the remote console or to reset the keyboard and mouse.

Command	Key Sequence
Private Mode	<Scroll Lock>
(ACU1028A, ACU1049A, ACUVREM, ACUREMSW
only)

Audio/Serial Local Units that feature dual access allow the remote user to lock out the local console by triggering a ‘Private Mode’ function. This prevents the local console from being used even if a two second inactivity timeout period expires.

During a Private Mode session, the extender system:

•Flashes the Scroll Lock LED on the remote keyboard.

•Illuminates all three LEDs on the local keyboard.

•Displays a blank image on the local console’s monitor.

•Locks the local console’s keyboard and mouse.

Reset Keyboard and Mouse <Num-Pad Up Arrow>

Reset the remote console’s keyboard and mouse. You may need to do this if you have hot- plugged a keyboard or mouse and it has not initialized correctly.

Mouse Recovery <Num-Pad Left Arrow>

Use this command if you experience erratic movement of the mouse pointer or you have lost mouse movement after hot plugging the Local Unit into the CPU. In the case of erratic mouse movement, you may need to enter the command a number of times to re-synchronize the mouse signal. Alternatively, stop moving the mouse for a few seconds and the operating system’s mouse drivers may automatically re-synchronize the signal. If the Local Unit has been hot-plugged, this command will issue a request to the OS to initialize the mouse. Use this command with care.

Switch to other PC	<Num-Pad + >
(ACU1049A and ACUREMSW only)

Toggles KVM switch in Remote Unit so that the remote console controls either the second PC (connected directly to the Remote Unit) or the extended PC.

Note: On power-up, the Remote Unit will switch to the first active CPU.
