Private Mode (Console 1)

For high-priority scenarios, Private Mode offers the best control during

computer sharing where a specific user can at any time take control of the

system. Console 1 or Console 2 can be set as the privileged user by setting the

DIP switch pin four on or off (see page 13), which can also prevent the non-

privileged user from viewing and controlling the computer (see page 11).

Private Mode operates within Auto Mode and does not include a Timeout

Period.

To enter Private Mode:

1. Make sure that the device is in Auto Mode and that DIP switch pin 3 is set

to the On position before powering on the CS261.

2. Set Console 1 user as the privileged user if DIP switch pin 4 is set to On

position. Otherwise, Console 2 user will be the privileged user.

3. Power on the CS261.

4. Wait for the Timeout period to expire (default: 5s).

5. From the keyboard of the privileged user, press the Shift key six times

within two seconds.

In Private Mode, the user who does not have control of the computer (i.e.

not the privileged user) cannot view or hear the computer. As a result, the

OSD warning message does not appear in Private Mode.

To exit Private Mode:

 From the keyboard of the privileged user, press the Shift key six times

within 2 seconds.
