To enable the “Scan mode”, press and release the left <Ctrl> key, then type S. The Vista switch will begin scanning sequentially from its current computer through the remaining computers (as set by the maximum computers command), and then begin again at computer 1.

Scan mode (Off)

To stop the “Scan mode”, press and release the left <Ctrl> key and then type “X”. Issuing a computer select command also turns off scanning.

Scan time interval

The “Scan Time interval” command sets the time, in seconds that the Vista switch will pause at each of the computers when scanning. The default setting is 5 seconds. To change the Scan Time to another interval press and release the left <Ctrl> key, type “T” then enter the new scan time interval (1-16 seconds), and press <Enter>.

Reset

To “Reset” the mouse and keyboard, press and release the left <Ctrl> key, then type “R”. This command is used to reset the mouse and keyboard on the currently selected Vista port without removing power from the Vista switch. This is most useful to reset a PS/2 mouse that has been unplugged and plugged back in. Upon issuing this command, all keyboard LEDs will go on and then return to their previous state.

Reset computer mouse type (NT and WIN 2K systems only)

DO NOT issue this command on non-NT or Win 2K based computers. Press and release the left <Ctrl> key, then type “O”. This command sends a reset mouse command to the currently selected NT or Win 2K computer. The command is used to recover a stuck mouse on an NT or Win 2K system.

Send null byte

Press and release the left <Ctrl> key, then type “N”. This command is used to re-synchronize an out-of-sync PS/2 mouse. The command may need to be entered once or twice, depending if the mouse is out-of-sync by one or two bytes.

Identify ROM version

Press and release the left <Ctrl> key, then type “I”. This command is used to identify the revision level of the Vista firmware currently installed. Before entering this command, the selected CPU must be at a command prompt, word processor, or text editor, so when the Vista switch sends the ROM revision level the result can be displayed.
