The Caps, Scroll and Num Lock buttons on the keyboard can flash in different sequences when the X200 is either in one of the following modes.

User Contention

When using the X200 in conjunction with a CATX switch, the LED's on the keyboard will flash if the host that you are accessing is currently being used by another user. Any movement of the mouse or keyboard temporarily locks out other users from interacting with the host. After the user has stopped using the mouse or keyboard and the contention period (typically 2 seconds) has expired, then another user may take control over the host.

Configuration Mode

When the X200 is in configuration mode, the keyboard LED's strobe from Num Lock, Caps Lock and then Scroll Lock.

Exiting Configuration Mode

Simply press the Enter key and the three LED's will return to their normal states

To Enter the Configuration Mode

Simultaneously press the currently configured hotkeys (by default Ctrl and Shift) along with Enter.
The three keyboard indicators (Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock) will now begin to flash in sequence to show that you are in configuration mode.
Please read the manual for the various configuration options available on the X200.

Password Locked

To indicate that the X200 has been password locked, the keyboard's LED's will alternately flash between the ‘Num Lock’ and 'Scroll Lock', and 'Caps Lock'. Whilst the X200 is locked, the video output will be blank.
