Reset keyboard and mouse – [F1]

Pressing the [F1] key while in the command mode will reset the keyboard and mouse, and then exit the command mode. Use this command if the keyboard or mouse lock up or the mouse does not initialize properly.

Send NULL mouse byte – [F3]

Pressing the [F3] key while in the command mode will send a NULL byte to the system and then exits the command mode. Use this command to re-synchronize an out of sync mouse. This command may need to be issued several times to re-sync the mouse.

Reset to factory defaults – [L-Ctrl] + [F9]

The reset to factory default command will reset the HF and LF equalization values, all color delay values and all configurations for all channels back to the original factory defaults and then exit the command mode.

Toggle Unit Private Mode – [Scroll Lock]

CrystalView Plus models with local KVM access have a private mode available which can inhibit the local or remote unit. When the local or remote unit issues this command, it blanks the monitor and prevents the other unit from being used until the private mode command is issued again. To indicate that a unit is in the private mode, the scroll lock LED will slowly flash. To cancel the private mode, enter the Command Mode and press the Scroll Lock key again.

Local unit Keyboard commands (Dual local model only)

To initiate a local unit keyboard command, first press the “HOT- KEY” then the command. The default “HOT-KEY” is the right control key. To change the default “HOT-KEY” from the right control key to the left control key, enter the Command mode and press [F7]. This toggles the “HOT-KEY” from the right control key to the left control key. When the [F7] key is pressed, the “HOT-KEY” change is saved and the unit exits the Command mode and returns to normal operation.

The local user can start a private session by pressing the “HOT- KEY” (right control key), then the scroll lock key. When the local unit is in the private mode, the Scroll Lock LED on the local unit flashes and all three LEDs on the remote unit will illuminate. The remote monitor is blanked and the keyboard and mouse are disabled.
