LOCAL UNIT OPERATION
Local Console Commands
After pressing the initial ‘hot’ key on the local keyboard, you can issue a number of commands by pressing additional keys. These commands allow you to start a private mode session on the local console or to reset the keyboard and mouse.
These commands only apply to Local Units having firmware versions ‘S50’ and above.
Command | Key Sequence |
Private Mode | <Scroll Lock> |
(ACU1028A and ACU1049A only) |
|
Audio/Serial Local Units that feature dual access allow the local user to lock out the remote console by triggering a ‘Private Mode’ function. This prevents the remote console from being used even if the two second inactivity timeout period expires.
During a Private Mode session, the extender system:
•Flashes the Scroll Lock LED on the local keyboard.
•Illuminates all three LEDs on the remote keyboard.
•Displays a blank image on the remote console’s monitor.
•Locks the remote console’s keyboard and mouse.
•Stops audio transmission.
•Switches to remote CPU (ACU1049A only).
Reset Keyboard and Mouse |
Reset the local 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 |
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
The ACU1049A Local Unit allows the local console to operate the local CPU and the remote console to operate the remote CPU at the same time.
