NTI PRIMUX MATRIX KVM SWITCH VIA CAT 5
User OSD Menus
Command Mode
In order to control the User Station with the keyboard, Command Mode must be enabled. To enable Command Mode from the
keyboard:
Ctrl
Press
All the status lights on the keyboard will illuminate to indicate that Command Mode is enabled. At this point, the Command Mode
menu will be displayed.
The Command Mode menu (see Figure 20) lists all Host Adapters by name and index number. Only 8 Host Adapters are listed on
the screen at a time. To view the other portions of the list, scroll using the arrow keys on the keyboard or use the mouse to click
on the arrows on the scroll bar in the OSD menu.
When the Command Mode main menu is first displayed at login, the first 8 Host Adapters will be displayed, sorted alphabetically.
When the Command Mode main menu is re-displayed to a logged-in user that has been working in a connected CPU, the Host
Adapters listed will be those in the same group of 8 as the CPU they are connected to (I.e., if they are connected to the Host
Adapter in index position 14, then Host Adapters 9-16 will be displayed when they reopen Command Mode). Alternatively, the
user can display only the Host Adapters they use most often, sorted as "Favorites" (see next page and page 26).
Only the names of Host Adapters accessible to the user that is logged-in will be displayed. The access rights for the user logged-
in may not include all Host Adapters.
An arrow to the left of an index number in the list indicates the Host Adapter the user is currently connected to. From left to right,
the columns display the following:
• Index Number
• Host Adapter Name
• Type of Host Adapter connected (UNV,SUN or SER (RS))
• CPU power status (where "p" means ON and " - " means OFF)
