Local Unit Configuration Commands

On dual-access SDBX systems, a local console user can lock out the remote
console (see Local Console Commands, page 37). The SDBX system has two
commands for configuring this feature from the remote console:

Command Key

Sequence

Local Unit Initial Hot Key

<F7>

For Local Unit firmware versions ‘S50’ and above only
(all SDBX range and SDLink with Audio/Serial)

To disable the remote console (and start a Private mode session) a local console user
must press an initial ‘hot’ key followed by <Scroll Lock>. By default, the initial
‘hot’ key is <Right Control> but this can be changed to <Left Control> from
within Command Mode. The setting is stored in EEPROM.

To toggle the Local Unit initial ‘hot’ key, enter Command Mode and then press
<F7>. The console automatically exits from Command Mode after you use this
command.

Local Unit Scroll Lock Key Mode

<F5>

For Local Unit firmware versions below ‘S50’ only
(for example, SDLink2, SDRK/6D, and SDLink/DM)

In firmware versions earlier than ‘S50’, a local console user can disable the remote
console (and start a Private mode session) simply by pressing <Scroll Lock>. An
initial ‘hot’ key is not required. In these cases, the Scroll Lock key is not passed to
the CPU. From within Command Mode, you can restore normal Scroll Lock
operation. This disables the Private mode feature on the local console.

To toggle between Private mode and normal Scroll Lock key operation on the local
console, press <F5>. The setting is stored in EEPROM. The console automatically
exits from Command Mode after you use this command.

On the remote console, the Scroll Lock key will always function as normal.
However, the Scroll Lock LED is used to show Private Mode status. If the

Scroll Lock key is assigned to Private Mode (default), then the remote console’s
Scroll Lock LED will not light when <Scroll Lock> is pressed.
