Keyboard Hotkey Port Switching
Hotkey port switching is also available when the toolbar is closed. In order to
use this function, however, you must first invoke hotkey mode, as follows:
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 automatically cancelled.
When Hotkey Mode is active:
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.
Port ID Numbering
Each computer on a KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932 installation has a unique
Port ID that reflects the position it occupies in the overall installation. For
example:
A computer connected to KVM Port 15 of a first stage KM0532 / KM0932
would have a Port ID of 15.
A computer connected to KVM Port 4 of a switch that is cascaded from
KVM Port 15 of a first stage KM0532 / KM0932 would have a Port ID of
15 04. (Single digit port numbers are padded with a preceding zero.)
A computer connected to KVM Port 9 of a switch that occupies Station 7
in a daisy chain would have a Port ID of C7 09.
