4.1 Command Mode

During normal use, the Remote console keyboard functions in the usual manner. However, by

using a specific ‘hot’ key sequence, you can set the keyboard into a Command Mode. From

this, you can use various keys and key combinations to tune the video signal and generally

configure the extender system.

To enter Command Mode:

1. Ensure that you have installed and powered up the system according to the instructions

in Section 3.

2. Press the following key combination on the Remote keyboard:

From Command Mode you can use one or more of the ‘hot’ key sequences shown on page 11

to configure the system. The next section gives a full description of the video optimization

procedure.

To exit Command Mode:

• Press <Esc> to exit Command Mode and save the configuration settings, or

• Press <Left Control> + <Esc> to exit Command Mode without saving changes made in

the current session.

The Remote unit automatically exits Command Mode after 30 sec of

inactivity, saves all settings to EEPROM and returns normal function to

the keyboard.
