Raritan Computer 4.7 User Manual

Chapter 6: Operation - User Functions 
 

This section describes the general concept for operating the Multiple 
Video function, including the activation and termination of the Multiple 
Video mode. 

 

Only access to the ACTIVATOR channel can trigger the function. 

 For 

a 

16-channel association, the additional requisite is the 

ACTIVATOR user port is user port No. 1, or the 16-channel 
Multiple Video function is NOT triggered even though the 
ACTIVATOR channel is accessed. 

 

The sequence of the ACTIVATOR and FOLLOWER user ports is 
consecutive. For example, with the precondition of four associated 
channels, if the ACTIVATOR user port is No. 3, the FOLLOWER 
user ports start from the next number, which are 4, 5, and 6. 

 

The function is forced regardless of the login status or the 
permissions of the logged-in users on the FOLLOWER user stations. 

 

This function can be remotely triggered through Raritan's IP-Reach 
(if any). 

The hot key for triggering the OSUI is disabled on the FOLLOWER user 
stations. Therefore, choose one method below to make the user station(s) 
exit the Multiple Video mode. 

 

On the ACTIVATOR user station, press the hot key (default: Scroll 
Lock) twice quickly to trigger the OSUI, and do one of the following. 
Both of the ACTIVATOR and FOLLOWER user stations will then exit 
the mode. 

 Press 

Shift+F9 to disconnect the ACTIVATOR channel. 

The FOLLOWER user stations' monitors remain showing the 
FOLLOWER channel videos, while the keyboard and mouse 
control is back on these user stations. 

 Press 

F9 to log out of the system. 

ACTIVATOR and FOLLOWER user stations are all logged out of 
the system. 

  Choose a non-ACTIVATOR channel in the Selection Menu. 

The FOLLOWER user stations' monitors remain showing the 
FOLLOWER channel videos, while the keyboard and mouse 
control is back on these user stations.
