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.) To enter Scan Mode press + from Command Mode. The port with the CPU
powered-ON remains active while in use. When the switch becomes idle for the configured time-out period (default time-out
period is 5 seconds) the switch will connect to the next powered-ON CPU port. See Command Mode section above for configuring
the scan time-out period.
NOTE: The keyboard and mouse must remain idle for the full scan time-out period before the switch will connect to the
next active port.
Broadcast Mode
(Use with extreme caution or commands intended for one CPU will be sent to all CPUs)
Broadcast Mode allows the operator to send keystrokes to all active CPUs simultaneously (even those CPUs the user cannot
connect to due to lack of security access ).
To enter Broadcast Mode press + from Command Mode. Broadcast Mode is
indicated by the illumination of the BROADCAST LED on the front panel. The BROADCAST LED will remain ON while in
Broadcast Mode. However, Broadcast Mode has some critical requirements:
•
BROADCAST LED must be OFF when booting any attached CPUs.
• BROADCAST LED must be ON and COMMAND LED must be OFF for keystrokes to reach attached CPUs.
Normal Mode
When all of the KEEMUX mode LEDs are OFF the user is in Normal Mode, controlling the CPU to which the user is connected
through the KEEMUX.
