Exit Command Mode

Esc

FYI: The user must exit Command Mode to type to a CPU.

To exit Command Mode, either hold down any touch-switch on the front panel for more than 2 seconds, OR press <ESC> on the keyboard.

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.

Broadcast Mode

To activate Broadcast Mode press <Ctrl> + <B> from the Command Mode menu. Broadcast Mode enables the user to type characters to all powered-ON CPUs simultaneously.

Note: The user must type somewhat slowly when in Broadcast Mode (less than 20 wpm) and cannot use the <Backspace> key.

Normal Mode

When all of the UNIMUX mode LEDs are OFF the user is in Normal Mode, controlling the CPU to which the user is connected through the UNIMUX.

No Sun Sleep Mode

Note: It is necessary to configure a Sun CPU (most versions) such that the Sleep Mode is not enabled. If the Sun CPU goes into Sleep Mode either automatically or manually, the user must reboot the Sun CPU in order to resume use of the Sun CPU.

To disable the Sleep Mode, perform the following steps:

1.Select "Power Manager"

2.Look for "Device Idle Time Before Power Saving Starts"

3.Select "Always ON"

4.Look for "Override Device Idle Time For:"
