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.

Normal Mode

When all of the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch mode LEDs are OFF the user is in Normal Mode, controlling the CPU to which the user
is connected through the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch.
No Sun Sleep Mode
PLEASE NOTE: It is necessary to configure any Sun CPU 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.

OPTIONAL OSD SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

The security features of the optional OSD Control allow an administrator to restrict access to the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch using
a set of eight user names, and to control access to individual CPUs separately for each user. Security can be activated from the
Maintenance Mode menu (page 14) with a successful administrator login for verification purposes. Furthermore, the administrator
can set a maximum idle time value after which the current user will be logged out and the login screen displayed. This time out
does not function while the OSD is active. The current security status, idle time out, and scan dwell time are all saved and will be
restored whenever power to the switch is cycled OFF, then ON.

Using the Security Feature

If the OSD feature is built into the NTI switch, when entering the Command Mode from the keyboard using the sequence
<Ctrl> + <`> (accent key) the On Screen Display menu will automatically appear on the monitor in addition to illuminating the
Command Mode indicator LED on the KEEMUX-USBV-xU switch. This provides a visual way to control the NTI KEEMUX-USBV-
xU switch using the monitor and input devices.
