grammable from 1-15 seconds. To stop scanning, press and release <Ctrl>,
then type “X”. Scanning is also disabled by entering a computer selection com-
mand. The power-on state of scanning can be saved in non-volatile memory. To
do this set the scan state and follow with the Keep command.
Scan time interval command
The scan time interval command sets the time, in seconds, that Vista Mini will
pause at each of the computers when scanning. The default setting is 5 sec-
onds. To set another interval, press and release the left Control Key, type “T”,
enter the new scan time interval (in seconds), and press <Enter>. Remember
to use the upper numeric keys, not the numeric keypad to the right. Follow with
the Keep command to save the setting.
Mode command
Vista Mini supports keyboard modes 1, 2, and 3. The keyboard mode is set by
commands from the CPU. Mode 2 is the most common mode used by the vast
majority of PCs. It is also the power-up state of all PC and PS/2 keyboards.
Mode 1 is used primarily by older IBM PS/2 models. Mode 3 is used by many
Unix workstations, such as SGI, HP, DEC, RS 6000, and others.
Vista Mini automatically detects each CPU’s keyboard mode upon CPU
boot-up, and thus learns which CPU uses which mode. If the CPU has already
booted and is then connected, Vista Mini cannot detect the CPU’s keyboard
mode and uses the setting stored in the Vista Mini’s non-volatile memory. The
mode command can be issued to change the keyboard mode for each com-
puter and can be saved in non-volatile memory with the Keep command.
To issue the Mode command, press and release the left Control Key, type ‘M“,
and enter the mode number ”1“, ”2“, or ”3“ followed by <Enter>. Remember to
use the alpha-numeric keys, not the numeric keypad, to enter the mode num-
ber. Follow with the Keep command. The mode is changed on your currently
selected computer. To change the mode on another computer, you must first
switch to that computer and then issue the mode command.
Typematic value command
Vista Mini can be configured to control the keyboard typematic rate and delay.
This setting is used to adjust the user preference of the way the keyboard acts
