When HKM 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 HKM.

Š A command line appears at the bottom of the monitor screen. The

command line prompt is the word Hotkey: in white text on a blue
background. Text that you key in while in HKM displays here.

Š Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended

only Hotkey

compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that
follow), can be input.

Š Pressing [Esc] or [Spacebar] exits HKM.

Selecting the Active Port

Each KVM port is assigned a port ID (see Port ID Numbering, p. 80). You can
directly access any computer on the installation with a Hotkey combination
that specifies the port ID of the KVM port that the computer is connected to.
The steps involved are:

1. Invoke HKM (see p. 99).

2. Key in the port ID

The port ID numbers display on the command line as you key them in. If
you make a mistake, use [Backspace] to erase the wrong number.

3. Press [Enter]

After you press [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated
computer and you automatically exit HKM.
