IMPORTANT OPERATION NOTE: To send Vista keyboard commands, you must first press and release the left Control Key (<Ctrl>). Pressing and releasing <Ctrl> instructs Vista to look for valid commands from the keyboard. You have two seconds between each keystroke to enter a valid command; otherwise Vista aborts the command. NOTE: When entering numeric commands, use only the numeric keys located at the top of your keyboard. Numbers entered from the numeric keypad to the right will not be recognized as valid commands. All command letters are shown capitalized for clarity only. Keyboard computer selection To select a computer from your keyboard, press and release your keyboard's left Control Key (<Ctrl>), then type in the computer number. Do not use the numeric keypad. Going to the next or previous computer From the keyboard you can toggle forward or backward through the computers by selecting either the Next or Previous computer. To go to the Next computer, press and release the left Control Key <Ctrl>, then press the "+/=" (plus) key. To go to the Previous computer, press and release <Ctrl>, then press the (minus) key. Use the keys at the top of your keyboard, not those on the numeric pad. Scan mode commands To enable scanning from the keyboard, press and release the left Control Key (<Ctrl>), then type "S". Vista will begin scanning sequentially from its current computer through the remaining computers (as set by the maximum computers command, page 13), then begin again at computer 1. The time between switching to the next computer is the scan time interval and is programmable from 1-15 seconds. To stop scanning, press and release <Ctrl>, then type "X". To do this set the scan state and follow with the Keep command.

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 Vista supports PC keyboard modes 1, 2, and 3. Mode 3 is used by Unix computers such as R/S 6000, HP 9000, SGI, DEC Alpha, and others. Vista automatically detects each PC's keyboard mode upon CPU boot-up, and thus learns which CPU uses which mode. If the CPU has already booted and is then connected, Vista cannot detect the CPU's keyboard mode and uses the setting stored in the Vista's non-volatile memory.
