Basic Operation

Overview

As a computer sharing device, the CS261 provides basic access via two

different console modes: Console 1 Mode and Console 2 Mode. The CS261

provides three convenient methods of selecting console modes: Pushbutton

Console Mode Selection – press the pushbutton on the front panel, Hotkey

Console Mode Selection – enter combinations from the keyboard, and RS232

serial control – send RS232 commands.*

Note: Please refer to the CS261 RS232 Command User Manual for further

details.

Pushbutton Console Mode Selection

Press the pushbutton on the front panel repeatedly to bring the focus to the

desired console mode as follows:

Auto Mode → Manual Mode (Console 1) → Manual Mode (Console 2) →

Auto Mode.

The LED lights indicate that the console is accessing the computer.

Hotkey Console Mode Selection

Selecting console modes via hotkey works only within Manual Mode (Console

1 and Console 2 mode). Press the Scroll Lock key twice and then the Enter key

to switch from Console 1 to Console 2.

Note: If using [Scroll Lock] conflicts with other programs, [Ctrl] can be used

instead, e.g. [Ctrl][Ctrl][Enter].
