Local Unit Configuration Commands On dual access systems, a Local console user can lock out the Remote console (see Local
Console Commands, page 41). There are two commands for configuring this feature from
the Remote console:
Command Key Sequence
Local Unit Initial Hot Key <F7>
For Local unit firmware versions ‘S50’ and above only
(all ServSwitch Brand CATx KVM Extender Series and CAT5 KVM Extender Series
with Audio/Serial)
To disable the Remote console (and start a Private mode session) a Local console user
must press an initial ‘hot’ key followed by <Scroll Lock>. By default, the initial ‘hot’ key
is <Right Control> but this can be changed to <Left Control> from within Command
Mode. The setting is stored in EEPROM.
To toggle the Local unit initial ‘hot’ key, enter Command Mode and then press <F7>. The
console automatically exits from Command Mode after you use this command.
Local Unit Scroll Lock Key Mode <F5>
For Local unit firmware versions below ‘S50’ only
(for example, ACU1009A, ACU1006DRA, and ACU3009A)
In firmware versions earlier than ‘S50’, a Local console user can disable the Remote
console (and start a Private mode session) simply by pressing <Scroll Lock>. An initial
‘hot’ key is not required. In these cases, the Scroll Lock key is not passed to the CPU.
From within Command Mode, you can restore normal Scroll Lock operation. This disables
the Private mode feature on the Local console.
To toggle between Private mode and normal Scroll Lock key operation on the Local
console, press <F5>. The setting is stored in EEPROM. The console automatically exits
from Command Mode after you use this command.
