OPERATION

Mode Selection

The VOPEX comes equipped with four (4) modes of operation. To manually toggle between modes, depress the MODE button

once each time a mode change is desired. The VOPEX will cycle through the 4 modes of operation, then return to the first mode

(1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 1). The following table depicts the 4 operations available for operation.

MODE DESCRIPTION INDICATOR LEDS

1- INSTANTANEOUS Same as "DELAY" mode except that the delay is

only 2 seconds rather than 5.

2- DELAY First user with active device gets control of CPU.

Second user is "Locked out" until after 5 seconds

of no activity from first user.

3- USER 1 "USER 1" has sole access. "USER 2" is locked

out.

4- USER 2 "USER 2" has sole access. "USER 1" is locked

out.

Keyboard Command Mode

In order to control the other features of the VOPEX with the keyboard, Command Mode must be enabled. To enter

Command Mode from the keyboard:

Press

When the Command Mode is enabled, all 3 status lights on the keyboard will illuminate and both LEDs on the VOPEX will

illuminate solid to indicate Command Mode is enabled. See the table below for available functions while in Command Mode.

NOTE: The user must exit Command Mode in order to use the CPU in the selected mode. To exit Command Mode,

press ESC on the keyboard. ) The mouse will not operate while in Command Mode.

NOTE: While in Command Mode, when a proper programming key is pressed and recognized by the switch, the LEDs

on the keyboard will flash once to indicate acceptance. The user must exit Command Mode (by pressing ESC) to see a

change take effect in the switch operation.

NOTE: The VOPEX will automatically exit Command Mode after 10 seconds of inactivity by the user if the user does not

manually exit Command Mode.

The following functions exist while in Command Mode:

Key Combination Description of Function

<X>-<key>-<Y> Select a new key sequence to use to enter Command Mode- Replace <key> with the desired key

to follow <Ctrl> with.

<L> - <x> - <x> Select the country code of the keyboard being used with a USB SUN CPU (see Country Codes

chart on page 6)

<V> - <Enter> This will print the version of the code in the VOPEX to a text editor window (i.e. Windows Notepad)

for use when troubleshooting the VOPEX. Note: The text editor should be open prior to entering

Command Mode.

<M> Configure the CPU port to connect to a MAC CPU (see "Mice and Trackballs with MACs" on pg. 6.

<W> Configure the CPU port to connect to a Windows or SUN CPU

<D> - <x> Select the operating mode, x=1 for Instantaneous Mode, x=2 for Delay Mode, x=3 User 1Mode, x=4

for User 2 mode. (Modes are described in the table above.)

<P> - <x> Select the default mode to have the VOPEX enter upon power-up.

<Esc> Exit Command Mode

NTI BRANDNAME AND DESCRIPTON

Mice and Trackballs with MACs

The VOPEX can be configured to enable full functionality between mice and trackballs having two or more buttons and a USB

MAC CPU. By default, the CPU port on the VOPEX is configured for use a WINDOWS or SUN CPU and has no special

translation for using multi-function mice and trackballs when a MAC CPU is connected. Using the commands in Command Mode

above, either enable or disable this feature as needed.

NOTE: Be sure to re-configure port for connection to a WINDOWS or SUN CPU if a MAC CPU is removed and a

WINDOWS or SUN CPU is then connected.

International SUN Keyboards

The VOPEX can recognize international layouts for Sun keyboards. In order to use an international Sun keyboard, follow this

procedure:

1. Disconnect the CPU from the VOPEX

2. Connect the international keyboard to be used to the VOPEX

3. Power down the VOPEX for at least 3 seconds

4. Power up the VOPEX

5. Reconnect the CPU to the VOPEX

It is also possible to configure the VOPEX to emulate a specific international Sun keyboard regardless of what actual keyboard is

connected. This is recommended when the CPU needs the layout code (i.e. a SUN CPU) and the keyboard doesn't have an

explicit layout code (i.e. some Windows keyboards). To do this, manually set the VOPEX to indicate the international keyboard

identification number to the CPU using the following procedure;

1. Connect the keyboard to be used to the VOPEX

2. Power down the VOPEX for at least 3 seconds

3. Power up the VOPEX

4. Enter Command Mode (<Ctrl> - <`>)

5. Type Lxx, where xx is the number from the list below that corresponds to the desired country code

6. Exit Command Mode

7. Power down the VOPEX for at least 3 seconds

8. Power up the VOPEX

9. Reboot the CPU connected to the VOPEX
