SECTION 6: Local PC Mode
6. Local PC Mode (Optional)
It’s possible for the system administrator to install a KV1519A Computer Interface
Module (“CIM”) between your USM and the Base Unit, as shown in Figure 8. This
would give you sole access to a local computer CPU in addition to your shared
access to the other CPUs in the system. See
Appendix C
in the Base Unit manual
for details.

If this has been done at your user station, you can control the local PC by activating
Local PC Mode on your USM. Take these steps:
1. Login at the attached user station.
2. Press the hotkey ([Scroll Lock] is the default]) twice in quick succession to
bring up the OSUI.
3. Press [F4] to bring up the User Profile Menu (see
Section 3
).
