CHAPTER 5: Operation
• Use {Hotkeys} + [0] to select nonexistent “CPU zero.” This causes the Extender
to (a) stop lighting its CPU LEDs, (b) disable keyboard and mouse input to
any CPU (although Extender commands will still work), and (c) shut off the
video output to the attached monitor. (Be aware that this will cause some
monitors to go into standby mode or shut themselves off.) If you were
controlling a Duo-system CPU before you did this, the Duo starts counting
down toward its inactivity timeout; if it expires before you reselect the Duo-
system CPU (which will reset the timer), that CPU will become available for
any Duo user station to select. You can re-enable video by selecting either the
local CPU or the Duo-system CPU with the keyboard hotkeys or with the
mouse (if mouse switching is enabled and the mouse is a 3-button or
IntelliMouse type—see
Section 5.8
). If the CPU you select is available, or if you
reselect the Duo-system CPU and the inactivity timeout hasn’t expired yet, you
will gain keyboard and mouse control as well.
• Use {Hotkeys} + [L] to lock the Extender. If no password has been set for the
Extender (see
Section 4.3
), this command is equivalent to the {Hotkeys} + [0]
command described above. If a password has been set, this command also
causes the Extender to (a) stop accepting keyboard and mouse input except
for password attempts until someone enters the password and (b) alternately
light the Num Lock/Scroll Lock LED pair and the Caps Lock LED on the
attached keyboard. Note that if anyone has tried to type something at the
Extender’s keyboard while the Extender is locked, you will have to press
[Enter] to clear those characters so that they won’t invalidate the password
when you proceed to type it in.
• Use {Hotkeys} + [Enter] to cause the Extender to go into configuration mode.
See
Section 4.2.2
.
Examples of common hotkey commands for a KV6EXT-R2 Extender (assuming
that the Duo’s hotkeys are [Ctrl] and [Alt] and that the Extender’s hotkeys have
been changed to [Alt] and [Shift]):
•
To select the Duo-system CPU, then select Duo CPU 14:
Press and hold [Alt] and [Shift], press [1], release [Alt] and [Shift]. Then
press and hold [Ctrl] and [Alt], press and release [1], press and release [4],
release [Ctrl] and [Alt].
•
To “tab back and forth” between the local CPU and the Duo-system CPU:
Press and hold [Alt] and [Shift], press and release [Tab] (repeat as many
times as necessary), release [Alt] and [Shift].
