Orion XC Installation and Operations Manual

Configuration

The Orion XC switch is easy to configure. This can be done through keyboard commands in Command

Mode, invoking the On-Screen Display, or using the Java Tool. These options are described below.

Command Mode

The Orion XC has a Command Mode that allows users to perform several functions through keyboard

commands during normal use.

To enter Command Mode use a 'Hot Key' sequence, and to exit Command Mode, press <Esc>. While in

Command Mode, the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs on the console keyboard will flash repeatedly.

In Command Mode, normal keyboard and mouse operation will cease. Only selected keyboard commands

are available.

If no keyboard command is executed within 10 seconds after activating Command Mode, the matrix will

automatically exit Command Mode.

The following table lists the keyboard commands to enter and to exit Command Mode, and to change the

'Hot Key' sequence:
