Operation
Your Scout mini is easy to use. Commands for selecting computers and functions of the Scout mini
can be entered with the keyboard. You can also select a computer pressing the Select button on the
front panel of the Scout mini.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To enter any keyboard command, press and release the left Control
Key (<Ctrl>). Then enter the command followed by any parameters you wish to specify, for
example the port number. Letter commands are not case sensitive, and are shown in upper
case for clarity only. Do not use the numeric keypad, but the numbers above the alphanumeric
keyboard to enter any commands. The numbers of the number pad on the right side of your
keyboard will not be perceived as valid commands.
All commands use a two-second time-out between characters before aborting the command.
This is a feature that restores the keyboard to normal operation, so the keyboard is not put
into a command mode, which might lock it up from normal operation.
The <Ctrl> character is always passed through to the computer. The command characters and
command operands, however, are absorbed by the Vista and not sent to the computer.
Keyboard computer selection
To select a CPU from your keyboard, press and release your keyboards left Control Key (<Ctrl>)
twice, then type in the port number A or B.
Switching to the other computer
From the keyboard you can toggle forward or backward through the ports by selecting either the Next
or Previous CPU. To go to the Next CPU, press and release the left Control Key (<Ctrl>), then press
the +/= (plus) key. To go to the Previous port, press and release <Ctrl>, then press the -/_ (minus)
key. The command is not case-sensitive.
Keep command
The Keep command saves the current state of the Scout mini’s custom settings. These settings are e.
g. scan status, scan time interval, keyboard mode, keyboard LED status, the maximal number of
computers and the typematic value. These settings are saved in non-volatile memory and become the
power-up settings. To enter the command, press and release the left Control Key <Ctrl>, then type K.
