When the COMMAND LED is illuminated, all 3 LEDs on the numeric keypad of the keyboard will illuminate (if they aren't already
due to CapsLock, NumLock, and ScrollLock) to indicate Command Mode is enabled and the following functions are available:
(NOTE: The user must exit Command Mode in order to type to a CPU. To exit Command Mode, press the <ESC> key. )

Scan Mode
Scan Mode is indicated by a flashing CPU port LED on the front panel of the ST-2U. The ST-2U 2-port Universal switch scans to
either port with a CPU powered-ON. That port remains active while in use until it becomes idle for the configured dwell time
(default time-out period is 5 seconds) before switching to the other powered-ON CPU port. See Command Mode section above for
configuring the scan time-out period.
NOTE: The keyboard and mouse must remain idle for the full scan dwell time before the switch selects the other port.
Broadcast Mode
(use with extreme caution- commands intended for one CPU will be broadcast to all CPUs )
Broadcast Mode is indicated when both CPU LEDs are illuminated. Broadcast Mode is enabled through the Command Mode
menu and allows the user to send keystrokes to both active CPUs simultaneously. NOTE: Broadcast Mode must be OFF when
booting any attached CPU.
Normal Mode
When only one CPU LED on the ST-2U switch is illuminated the user is in Normal Mode, controlling the CPU to which the user is
connected through the ST-2U switch. The illuminated CPU LED indicates which CPU the user is connected to.
