Reset
To “Reset” the mouse and keyboard, press and release the left <Ctrl> key,
then type “R”. This command is used to reset the mouse and keyboard on
the currently selected Vista port without removing power from the Vista
switch. This is most useful to reset a PS/2 mouse that has been unplugged
and plugged back in. Upon issuing this command, all keyboard LEDs will
go on and then return to their previous state.
Reset computer mouse type (NT and WIN 2K systems only)
DO NOT issue this command on non-NT or Win 2K based computers.
Press and release the left <Ctrl> key, then type “O”. This command sends
a reset mouse command to the currently selected NT or Win 2K computer.
The command is used to recover a stuck mouse on an NT or Win 2K
system.
Send null byte
Press and release the left <Ctrl> key, then type “N”. This command is
used to re-synchronize an out-of-sync PS/2 mouse. The command may
need to be entered once or twice, depending if the mouse is out-of-sync by
one or two bytes.
Identify ROM version
Press and release the left <Ctrl> key, then type “I”. This command is used
to identify the revision level of the Vista firmware currently installed. Before
entering this command, the selected CPU must be at a command prompt,
word processor, or text editor, so when the Vista switch sends the ROM
revision level the result can be displayed.
Keep command
Press and release the left <Ctrl> key, then type “K”. The Keep command
saves all settings.
Mode command
The Vista switch supports keyboard modes 1, 2 and 3 and mouse modes
7,8, and 9. To issue the “Mode” command, press and release the left
<Ctrl> key, type “M”, then enter the mode number (1,2,3,7,8,9) followed by
<Enter>.
Mode 1 - CPU Keyboard = PC Mode 1 (Some IBM’s & PS/1’s)
Mode 2 - CPU Keyboard = PC Mode 2 (Most PCs)
