SERVSWITCH™ SPECTRA
• you don’t know which mode the CPU uses or the
port is set for, but the keyboard’s behavior makes
you suspect that the port’s setting is wrong.
To set the keyboard mode of the currently selected port
on a Spectra, press and release the left Control key
([Ctrl]), then type [M] followed by the mode number
([1], [2], or [3]). After you enter this command, enter
the Keep Settings command to save the mode setting in
NVRAM, so that the new setting becomes the default
value (preserved during power-down and reloaded at
power-up).
If either of the CPUs you’ll be connecting to your
Spectra system use a
keyboard mode other than 2, you
might want to change the defaults of the affected CPU
port(s) of the Spectra
at installation time. This is because
if the Spectra is accidentally disconnected from the
CPUs, or if both CPUs lose power, the Spectra’s CPU
ports will return to their default keyboard mode when
power is restored.
