Broadcast Mode
Broadcast Mode enables the user to type characters to all CPUs simultaneously. A port doesn’t receive broadcast data if
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
When in Scan Mode the switch scans to each port with a CPU powered-ON. (The SCAN LED on the front panel will illuminate and
remain ON while in Scan Mode. ) 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.
Normal Mode
When all of the UNIMUX-USBV-4 USB KVM switch mode LEDs are OFF the user is in Normal Mode, controlling the CPU to which
the user is connected through the UNIMUX-USBV-4 USB KVM switch.
Select Country Code
It is possible to configure the UNIMUX-USBV-4 USB KVM switch to emulate a specific international Sun keyboard regardless of
what actual keyboard is connected. This is recommended when the CPU needs the layout code (i.e. a SUN CPU) and the
keyboard doesn't have an explicit layout code (i.e. some Windows keyboards). To do this, manually set the UNIMUX-USBV-4
USB KVM switch to indicate the international keyboard identification number to the CPU using the following procedure;
1. Connect the keyboard to be used to the UNIMUX-USBV-4 USB KVM switch
2. Enter Command Mode
3. Type Lxx, where xx is the number from the list below that corresponds to the desired country code
4. Exit Command Mode
5. Reboot the CPU connected to the UNIMUX-USBV-4 USB KVM switch.
