There are two Scan Type options for Scan mode:
[Ready PC]: will scan all powered-on computers, except those with the Security “1” setting.
[Ready PC + V ]: will scan only powered-on computers that have a check mark “V”, except those with the
Security “1” setting.
To cancel the check mark “V”, press <

F7: ACPI (Green command)
Before you start using ACPI commands in the KVM, you should confirm the settings in the BIOS work with
ACPI commands. The following are introductions of setting BIOS to support ACPI commands; we’ll follow
Phoenix BIOS’s settings for example, which is one of the global leading BIOD brands.
* Note:
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
ACPI (
A
dvanced
C
onfiguration and
P
ower
I
nterface), a power management specification developed by Intel,
Toshiba and Microsoft that makes hardware status information available to the operating system.
ACPI combines the earlier Advanced Power Management (APM) and PnP BIOS into an enhanced power
management system. ACPI support is built into Windows starting with Windows 98; however, the PC's chipset
and BIOS must also support it. It provides a platform-independent, industry-standard approach to operating-
system-based power management. The ACPI specification is the key constituent in OSPM (Operating System
Directed Power Management). OSPM and ACPI apply to all classes of computers, including handheld,
notebook, desktop, and server machines.
The ACPI OS takes over the power-management and Plug and Play functions from the legacy BIOS
interfaces and allows inexpensive power-management hardware to support elaborate power-state transitions,
maximizing the computer's power consumption and resource-utilization efficiencies.
State
Description
Product Support
S0(Working)
System appears off. The CPU is stopped; RAM is
refreshed; the system is running in a low power mode.
S1 (sleep) &
S3 (standby)
System appears off. The CPU is stopped (Sleep) or has no
power (Standby); RAM is refreshed (sleep) or slow refresh
(standby); the power supply is in a reduced power mode.
Use built–in CAT 5 KVM’s OSD
ACPI functions to enter the S1 mode
S4
(Hibernate)
System appears off. The hardware is completely off, but
system memory has been saved as a temporary file onto
the hard-drive.
Use IP Module (Optional) installed
on CAT 5 KVM to wake up your
computer from S4 mode (Wake On
LAN)
S5(Off)
System is off. The hardware is completely off, the operating
system has shut down; nothing has been saved. Requires
a complete reboot to return to the Working state.
Use built–in CAT 5 KVM’s OSD
ACPI functions to enter the S5
mode(Turn off computer)
NOTICE:
Before you start using ACPI features,
please make sure your motherboard
has the latest firmware installed and
supports ACPI features.
