SERVSWITCH™ BRAND CAT5 KVM EXTENDER STANDALONE REMOTES
wiring of the interconnect cable. Compare its pinning and pairing with those
shown in
Appendix A . (Please realize that signal equalization cannot be exact;
regardless of the setting of this DIP switch, the remote video image might
never appear quite as sharp as it would appear with the monitor directly
attached to the CPU.)
• Position 2 (keyboard-command recognition): The function of this position
depends on which type of Micro Remote you have :
– On the ACUMREM and ACU1006MRA, position 2 controls how the Remote
handles [Scroll Lock]. Normally, pressing [Scroll Lock] on the Micro
Remote’s attached keyboard causes the Extender to reset itself or, in Dual-
Access systems, to go into Private Mode. But the Extender treats this
keypress as a command and absorbs it, so there’s no way to send [Scroll
Lock] to the PC or KVM switch attached to the corresponding CPU port on
the Extender’s Local.
Leave position 2 of the Micro Remote’s DIP switch 2 in the factory-default
UP (OFF) setting if [Scroll Lock] isn’t necessary for your application and
can continue to be used to trigger reset/Private Mode on that Local CPU
port. If you need to be able to use the [Scroll Lock] key for something else
on that port, move position 2 to the DOWN (ON) setting to disable reset
and Private Mode and cause the Extender to pass [Scroll Lock] through to
the attached PC or switch.
– On the ACUWREM and ACU1006MRVA, position 2 controls the Remote’s
keyboard-command hotkey, the character that you can send from that link’s
attached keyboard to cue the Extender to expect to receive a command.
Each time you press the hotkey, it will be absorbed by the Extender if it’s
followed by a valid command character.
The hotkey can be either left-[Ctrl] or right-[Ctrl]. In position 2’s factory-
default OFF setting, right-[Ctrl] is the hotkey. But you might want to use left-
[Ctrl] for a particular link instead, particularly if (a) a KVM switch you’ll be
attaching to its CPU port uses right-[Ctrl] as
its
command hotkey, or (b) a
computer you’ll be attaching to the Extender is a workstation such as a
Compaq Alpha, HP, etc. (Instead of a standard right-[Ctrl] key, these
workstations’ keyboards have a [Compose] key, which shouldn’t be
absorbed by the Extender because it’s required for use with some of the
software written for these workstations.) To have a link use left-[Ctrl] for its
hotkey, move position 2 to ON. (If neither right- nor left-[Ctrl] are suitable
for this purpose in your application, please call Black Box Technical
Support.)
