REMOTE UNIT CONFIGURATION & OPERATION

Private Mode Commands
On dual access systems, the Remote user can lock out the Local console by triggering a
‘Private Mode’ function. This prevents the Local console from being used even if the two-
second inactivity timeout period expires.
To lock out the Local unit:
1. Enter Command Mode:
<Left Control> + <Left Shift> + <F10>
2. Press the <Scroll Lock> key on the Remote unit keyboard.
To indicate that the Private Mode session is active, the extender system:
• Slowly flashes the Scroll Lock LED on the Remote keyboard.
• Illuminates all three LEDs on the Local keyboard.
• Displays a blank image on the Local console’s monitor.
• Locks the Local console’s keyboard and mouse.
To cancel the Private Mode, press <Scroll Lock> again while in Command Mode. This
command also closes Command Mode.
This command only applies to operation with Local units (standalone and
rack) that have firmware versions ‘S50’ and above. The firmware-revision
level is printed on the base of the Extender unit (see Appendix F: Calling
Black Box, page 60).
