LOCAL UNIT OPERATION
34
Command Summary
On a dual access system, you can issue the following commands at the local console:
Command Key Sequence
Activate Console
Any key or mouse action
Gain control of CPU from remote console. Only operates if remote console has been inactive
for at least 2s.
Start/End Private Mode <Scroll Lock>
Start/End ‘Private Mode’ at local console. This prevents the remote console from being used
even if the inactivity timeout period expires.
During a Private Mode session, the extender system:
• Lights the Scroll Lock LED on the local keyboard.
• Lights the Scroll Lock LED on the remote keyboard.
• Locks the remote console’s keyboard and mouse.
• Displays a blank image on the remote console’s monitor.
To end a Private Mode session, press the Scroll Lock key on the local console a second time.
Remember that each press of the local console’s Scroll Lock key also resets the keyboard
and mouse.
Reset Keyboard and Mouse
press key twice to avoid starting/stopping Private
Mode session
<Scroll Lock>
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
(press keys simultaneously)
Hold down Left and Right Mouse
buttons then press and release
<Scroll Lock>
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.
