Remote Unit Configuration & Operation 25

Remote Console Commands

Standard and Serial Remote Units use the Scroll Lock key for system

commands. The following table lists the commands available at a remote

console:

Command Key Sequence

Reset Keyboard and Mouse PS/2 versions: <Scroll Lock>

SUN versions: <Right Shift> + <Scroll Lock>

Reset the remote console’s keyboard and mouse. You may need to do this if you have

plugged a keyboard or mouse into a powered Remote Unit and it has not initialized

correctly.

Mouse Recovery

PS/2 versions only

Hold down Left and Right Mouse buttons then

press and release <Scroll Lock>

Use this command if you experience erratic movement of the mouse pointer or you

have lost mouse movement after hot plugging the Local Unit into the CPU. In the

case of erratic mouse movement, you may need to enter the command a number of

times to re-synchronize the mouse signal. Alternatively, stop moving the mouse for a

few seconds and the operating system’s mouse drivers may automatically re-

synchronize the signal. If the Local Unit has been hot-plugged, this command will

issue a request to the OS to initialize the mouse. Use this command with care.

Activate Console

Dual Access models only

Any key or (optionally) mouse action

Gain control of CPU from local console. Only operates if inactivity timeout period

has expired.

Enter Private Mode

SDLink2/SU only
