Keypad Control
The keypad on the front panel of the PRIMUX User Station enables a user to quickly set the User Station to connect to the desired
CPU. Two seven-segment LEDs illuminate to show the index number (page 19) of the Host Adapter the user is connected to.
The Up and Down buttons enable the user to search for the desired CPU. The Favorite buttons, 1-8, can be programmed for
quick selection of the most commonly connected CPUs. (See Figure 15)
To program a Favorite button,
- Use the Search buttons to select the desired Host Adapter index number to connect with (or use OSD Command
Mode).
- With the index number in the LED display, press and hold the Favorite button to be associated with it for at least 2
seconds. The LED will blink when the selection is remembered and until the Favorite button is released.
- When this button is pressed and released, the User Station will immediately connect to the selected Host
Adapter.
- Repeat for each Favorite button to be programmed.
Note: Favorite buttons are not available when PRIMUX is mounted in a RACKMUX-15/17-PRIMUX drawer. See “Favorite
Hosts” on page 24 to use Favorites through the OSD menu.
Note: Only one Favorite button can be programmed per Host Adapter (i.e. Favorite buttons 1 and 5 cannot both be
programmed to connect to Host Adapter 10).
Using the Search buttons
The moment a Search button is pressed, the user connection to the previously selected Host Adapter will be terminated.
A quick press and release of the Up or Down Search button will increment or decrement (respectively) the selected Host Adapter
by one.
Pressing and holding the Up or Down Search button will rapidly increment or decrement the selected Host Adapter, skipping every
other available host adapter for rapid searching.
Note: The Host Adapters accessible through the front panel will be limited to only those Host Adapters the logged-in
user has access to (page 33)..
If, after releasing a Search button, the display reads “0”, the selected Host Adapter is unavaillable because Sharing mode
(page 31) has not been enabled for this Host Adapter and another user is presently connected to it.
Once a Host Adapter is selected, either by the Search buttons or the Favorite buttons, the connection between the Host Adapter
and the user will be delayed by 1 second.
