Scan mode commands
To enable scanning from the keyboard, press and release the left Control Key (<Ctrl>), then type S.
Scout mini will begin scanning sequentially from its current CPU port through the remaining ports, then
begin again at CPU Port 1. The time between switching to the next port is the scan time interval (see
below) and is programmable from 1-15 seconds. To stop scanning, press and release <Ctrl>, then
type X. Scanning is also disabled by entering a CPU selection command. The scan settings can be
saved in ten non-volatile memory of the Scout mini. To do that, enter the scan settings and confirm the
settings with the Keep command (<Ctrl K>).
Scan time interval command
The scan time interval command sets the time, in seconds, so that the Scout mini will pause at each of
the ports when scanning. The default setting is 5 seconds. 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
Scout mini supports keyboard modes 1, 2 and 3. The keyboard mode is set by commands from the
computer. 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, RS6000 and others.
Scout mini automatically detects each computer’s keyboard mode upon computer boot-up, and thus
learns which computer uses which mode. If the computer has already booted and is then connected,
Scout mini cannot detect the computer’s keyboard mode and uses the setting stored in the Scout
mini’s non-volatile memory. The mode command can be used to change the keyboard mode for each
computer 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 upper numeric keys, not the numeric
keypad, to enter the mode number. Follow with the Keep command. The mode is changed on your
currently selected computer. To change the mode of the other computer, you must first switch to the
other computer and then issue the mode command.
