Operation of Dual Access Standard and Serial Local Hubs
SDRK/6D and SDRK/6SD only
Scroll Lock Function
Standard and Serial Remote Units redefine the function of the Scroll Lock key
for use within the Extender system.
You may need normal Scroll Lock activity for a specific application. In this
case, you can restore the Scroll Lock key to its usual function. In doing so, you
will disable Private Mode operation on a dual access system. In addition, if you
need to reset/recover a console’s keyboard and mouse, you may need to reboot
the Remote Unit or the CPU.
Please refer to the manual supplied with your Remote Unit for more details
about Scroll Lock key functions and configuration.
Console Switching
With Standard and Serial Extender systems, you can set the Inactivity Timeout
Period to 2 seconds (the default) or 15 seconds. You can also choose the
method of switching between consoles:
• Any detected keyboard action (the default), or
• Any keyboard or mouse action.
Please refer to the manual supplied with your Remote Unit.
When the PC is booted, the local console is active.
When you are activating a console, the first key or mouse button action is not
passed to the PC.
SDRK/6SD only: Serial communication across the Extender system continues
even when the local console is active or in a Private Mode session (see below).
