Scan Mode

When in Scan Mode the switch scans to each port with a CPU powered-ON. (The SCAN LED on the front panel will illuminate and
remain ON while in Scan Mode. ) The port with the CPU powered-ON 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 next powered-ON CPU port. See Command
Mode section above for configuring the scan dwell time.
Note: The keyboard and mouse must remain idle for the full scan dwell time before the switch selects the next active
port.

Broadcast Mode

To activate Broadcast Mode press <Ctrl> + <B> from the Command Mode menu. Broadcast Mode enables the user to type
characters to all powered-ON CPUs simultaneously.
Note: The user must type somewhat slowly when in Broadcast Mode (less than 20 wpm) and cannot use the
<Backspace> key.

Normal Mode

When all of the UNIMUX mode LEDs are OFF the user is in Normal Mode, controlling the CPU to which the user is connected
through the UNIMUX.

No Sun Sleep Mode

Note: It is necessary to configure a Sun CPU (most versions) such that the Sleep Mode is not enabled. If the Sun CPU
goes into Sleep Mode either automatically or manually, the user must reboot the Sun CPU in order to resume use of the
Sun CPU.
To disable the Sleep Mode, perform the following steps:
1. Select "Power Manager"
2. Look for "Device Idle Time Before Power Saving Starts"
3. Select "Always ON"
4. Look for "Override Device Idle Time For:"
5. Make sure neither "Monitors" nor "Disks" are selected.
