OPERATION
25 3.2 Operation of Dual Access Standard & Serial Local Hubs ACU1006DRA and ACU1006DSRA only
Scroll Lock Function
Standard and Serial Remote Units redefine the function of the Scroll Lock key for use within
the Extender system.
You may need normal Scroll Lock activity for a specific application. In this case, you can
restore the Scroll Lock key to its usual function. In doing so, you will disable Private Mode
operation on a dual access system. In addition, if you need to reset/recover a console’s
keyboard and mouse, you may need to reboot the Remote Unit or the CPU.
Please refer to the manual supplied with your Remote Unit for more details about Scroll Lock
key functions and configuration.
Console Switching
With Standard and Serial Extender systems, you can set the Inactivity Timeout Period to 2
seconds (the default) or 15 seconds. You can also choose the method of switching between
consoles:
• Any detected keyboard action (the default), or
• Any keyboard or mouse action.
Please refer to the manual supplied with your Remote Unit.
When the PC is booted, the local console is active.
When you are activating a console, the first key or mouse button action is not
passed to the PC.
ACU1006DSRA only: Serial communication across the Extender system
continues even when the local console is active or in a Private Mode session
(see below).
