Follow Mode
Swap Mode
Privacy Mode
Follow Mode allows a user to follow another user's channel switching. For
example, John and Melissa are both users in an XP4000 Series system. John
wants to automatically change channels along with Melissa. John places his
console in Follow Mode, designating Melissa's user console as the leader.
Now, whenever Melissa changes to any channel, John automatically switches
to the same.
The following key sequences configure and control Follow Mode. The first
sequence designates the leader console. The remaining commands are used to
enable/disable Follow Mode and save the changes.
Key Sequence

Swap Mode allows two users to exchange channels with one channel switch.
For example, John and Melissa are both users in an XP4000 Series system.
When Melissa is working on John's computer, John wants to be automatically
switched to Melissa's computer and vice versa. John and Melissa both place
their consoles in Swap Mode. Now, John and Melissa will swap channels when
either one switches to the other's computer.
The following key sequences configure and control Swap Mode. The first
sequence designates the user console to be swapped with. The remaining
commands are used to enable/disable Swap Mode and save the changes.
Key Sequence
<CM>SWAP Addr <Enter>
<CM>SWAP+<Enter>
<CM>SWAP-<Enter>
<CM>SAVE<Enter>
When you select your computer channel with the Privacy Mode sequence shown
below, no other user station in the system can switch to your channel. If another
user initiates a channel change to your private channel, they will simply remain
on their present channel instead. Take your channel out of Privacy Mode by
switching to another channel or using the off command.
