Hot Key Broadcasting
Commands to all attached PCs (to install software or shut down all the PCs, e.g.), can
be broadcast from the console’s keyboard with the following Hot Key combinations:
w
[Ctrl] + [Alt] + [1] + [Enter] (to initiate the keyboard broadcast)
A Broadcast symbol appears in front of the Station ID (if the Port ID is
currently displayed on the screen), to indicate that Broadcasting is in effect.
w
[Ctrl] + [Alt] + [2] + [Enter] (to end the keyboard broadcast)
When keying in the combination, note the following:
w
Number keys must be pressed from the regular keyboard; not from the
numeric keypad.
w
The keys must be pressed and released one key at a time.
w
The interval between key presses cannot be longer than 6 seconds.
w
If you make a mistake, just start over again with [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [1] + [Enter].
w
Confirmation that the key in has been accepted is made either by OSD or
with one or two beeps.
Previous/Next Switching
Previous/Next switching enables you to quickly switch from the currently active
computer to the previous or next available computer in the installation. To
invoke Previous/Next switching, key in the following Hot Key combination:
1. Press and release [Ctrl]+[Alt]+9+Right Shift
To Switch to the Next available computer.
2. Press and release [Ctrl]+[Alt]+9+Left Shift
To Switch to the first available computer that resides on the installation
Previous to the current one.
Switching is cyclical so, for example, if you are currently at Port 8 of Station 32
and use the combination to switch to the Next available computer, you will circle
back to Station 1 to start looking for the next available computer, and vice versa
when switching backwards to an available computer that exists prior to the
current one.
