REMOTE UNIT OPERATION

Hot Key Commands
After pressing the initial ‘hot’ key on the remote keyboard, you can issue a number of
commands by pressing additional keys. These commands allow you to reset the keyboard
and/or mouse.
Command Key Sequence
Reset Keyboard and Mouse <Num-Pad Up Arrow>
Reset the remote console’s keyboard and mouse. You may need to do this if you have
plugged a keyboard or mouse into a powered Remote Unit and it has not initialized correctly.
Mouse Recovery <Num-Pad Left Arrow>
Use this command if you experience erratic movement of the mouse pointer or you have lost
mouse movement after hot plugging the Local Unit into the CPU. In the case of erratic
mouse movement, you may need to enter the command a number of times to re-synchronize
the mouse signal. Alternatively, stop moving the mouse for a few seconds and the operating
system’s mouse drivers may automatically re-synchronize the signal. If the Local Unit has
been hot-plugged, this command will issue a request to the OS to initialize the mouse. Use
this command with care.
Dual Access Commands
The Micro Extender range does not include a Dual Access Audio/Serial Local Unit. However,
if you use an Audio/Serial Micro Extender Remote Unit with a compatible Dual Access
Audio/Serial Local Unit/Hub (for example, ACU1006DVRA), the following commands are
available at the remote console:
Command Key Sequence
Activate Console Any key or mouse action
Gain control of CPU from local console. Only operates if local console has been inactive for
at least 2s.
Start/End Private Session at Remote Unit <Scroll Lock>
Start/End ‘Private Mode’ at remote console. This prevents the local console from being used
even if the inactivity timeout period expires.
During a Private Mode session, the extender system:
• Slowly flashes the Scroll Lock LED on the remote keyboard.
• Lights all three LEDs on the local keyboard.
• Locks the local console’s keyboard and mouse.
• Displays a blank image on the local console’s monitor.
To end the Private Mode session, press the Scroll Lock key on the remote console a second
time.
