CS261 User Manual

Manual Mode

For longer tasks where uninterrupted access to the computer is required,

Manual Mode offers the best operation setting for computer sharing. It is

invoked by repeatedly pressing the MANUAL/AUTO Button to bring the

focus to the desired console as follows:

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

Auto Mode

 When Manual Mode is invoked, the CS261 switches to the selected

console and prohibits the other console from controlling the computer. The

selected console retains control until the MANUAL/AUTO Button is

pressed again.

 A message appears on the other user’s monitor indicating that the system

is in use. After 10 seconds, the message disappears and the user can view

the computer display. If the user strikes the keyboard or moves the mouse,

the OSD message is displayed again:

The System Is Occupied. Please Wait.

 The user who has control of the computer can prevent the other user from

viewing the computer display and listening the computer’s audio output by

entering the following Hotkey combination:

[Num Lock]+[-],[D]

If the other user strikes the keyboard or moves the mouse, a message

appears indicating that the system is in use. After 10 seconds, the message

disappears and the monitor displays a black background. If the user strikes

the keyboard or moves the mouse, the OSD message is displayed again.

To switch access to the computer between the two consoles:

 Press the Manual/Auto Mode Button, or

 Enter the following hotkey combination:

[Scroll Lock], [Scroll Lock], [Enter]

Note: If using the Scroll Lock key conflicts with other programs running on

the computer, the Ctrl key can be used instead, e.g. [Ctrl][Ctrl][Enter].
