Scan Mode
Scan Mode is indicated by a flashing CPU port LED on the front panel of the ST-2U. The ST-2U 2-port Universal switch scans to either
port with a CPU powered-ON. That port remains active while in use until it becomes idle for the configured dwell time (default time-out
period is 5 seconds) before switching to the other powered-ON CPU port. See Command Mode section above for configuring the scan
time-out period.
NOTE: The keyboard and mouse must remain idle for the full scan dwell time before the switch selects the other port.
Broadcast Mode
(use with extreme caution
)
Broadcast Mode is indicated when both CPU LEDs are illuminated. Broadcast Mode is enabled through the Command Mode menu and
allows the user to send keystrokes to both active CPUs simultaneously.
NOTE
: Broadcast Mode must be OFF when booting any
attached CPU.
