Using the Console Unit
The Console Unit allows a user at the Console Unit to assume control of devices
connected to the Computer Unit (Computer A), if the Computer Unit is set to Auto or
Remote mode. It also permits the user at the Console Unit to use any directly connected
system (Computer B) as though the KVM Extender was transparent.
You can use either keyboard shortcuts or the mode switch on the front of the Console
Unit to alternate control between A and B. Unlike the Computer Unit, however, the
switch on the front of the Console Unit only offers two selectable modes:
Local Remote
Beep Codes
Some of the keyboard command sequences you issue to the Computer Unit have
multiple possible settings. The unit will beep to indicate what setting you have
selected for the command you issued. (A short beep followed by a long beep indicates
an invalid command.)
[Ctrl] - [Ctrl] - [Alt]+[E] (Compatibility Mode)
1 beep: disabled
2 beeps: enabled
[Ctrl] - [Ctrl] - [F3] (Inactivity Interval for Auto Mode)
1 beep: 5 seconds
2 beeps: 15 seconds
3 beeps: 30 seconds
4 beeps: 60 seconds
Note: Commands described in the [Key] - [Key] format are keys that must be pressed
in order on the keyboard. Commands described in the [Key]+[Key] format must be
pressed simultaneously.
Note: If the Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock lights are flashing in unison on the
keyboard, the other Unit has control of the Host computer. You will not be able to use
the computer or issue commands until the other unit has finished using the computer.
