Hotkey Operation
Hotkey Port Control
Hotkey Port Control allows you to provide KVM focus to a particular computer
directly from the keyboard. The KH1508 / KH1516 provides the following
Hotkey Port Control features:
Š Selecting the Active Port
Š Auto Scanning
Š Skip Mode Switching
Invoking Hotkey Mode
All Hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey Mode. Invoking Hotkey
Mode takes three steps:
1. Hold down the Num Lock key;
2. Press and release the minus key;
3. Release the Num Lock key:
[Num Lock] + [-];
Note: The minus key must be released within one half second, otherwise
Hotkey invocation is cancelled and it has no effect.
When Hotkey Mode is active:
Š The Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate so.
They stop flashing and revert to normal status when you exit Hotkey
Mode.
Š A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line
prompt is the word Hotkey: in yellow text on a blue background, and
displays the subsequent Hotkey information that you key in.
Š Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended - only Hotkey
compliant keystrokes (described in the sections that follow), can be input.
Pressing [Esc] exits Hotkey Mode.
