Mirror Mode Displays
When a device is placed in mirror mode, monitor 1 on the mirroring device matches external monitor
1 on the host, and monitor 2 matches external monitor 2 on the host. A client will mirror as many
monitors as it has available.
All formats used on the host device are shown on the mirroring device including flexichannel states,
column widths, chosen parameters, and pages.
Note: Desk settings are not mirrored.
The CIA will open on monitor 1. The CIA on the device in mirror mode can be locked open or closed.
When left unlocked, the CIA will expand and close as normal. Not all CIA displays shown on the
device in mirror mode. The following CIA displays are synchronized:

The CIA can be completely hidden when locked by pressing the [Displays] key. Pressing [Displays]
again will display and unlock the CIA.
Exiting Mirror Mode
Exiting mirror mode can be done by selecting {Stop Mirroring} in the mirror display or using the key-
board shortcut ALT + F2. When exiting mirror mode, the device will return to its normal, working
state.
Note: Clients without a dongle cannot exit mirror mode.
Shutdown/Start Up in Mirror Mode
When a device is shut down in mirror mode, it will restart in mirror mode mirroring the same host as
before. If the host has changed settings, mirror mode will need to be reselected on startup.
Macros
Macros can be created to configure a device for mirror mode and to exit the mode.
The face panel button configuration in the ECU allows the face panel buttons on RPU and RVI to be
populated with these macros.
Note: An alphanumeric keyboard will be needed to create this macro.
To create a macro to place a device in mirror mode:
1. Set the User ID of all devices to match the Primary.
2. Press ALT + F1 to open the mirror mode display.
