Hotkey Port Control
Hotkey Port Control allows you to provide KVM focus to a particular computer
directly from the keyboard. The Master View CS-88A provides the following
Hotkey Port Control features:
M Selecting the Active Port
M Auto Scanning
M Skip Mode
M Invoking Hotkey Mode
1. All Hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey Mode. Invoking Hotkey Mode
is a three step procedure: 1) Press and hold down the Num Lock key; 2)
Press and release the asterisk key or the minus key; 3) Release the Num
Lock key:
[Num Lock] + [*];
Or:
[Num Lock] + [-];
2. When Hotkey Mode is active:
M The Num Lock, 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.
M A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line
prompt is the word Hotkey: in yellow text on a blue background. Hotkey
information that you key in displays on the command line.
M Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended - only Hotkey
compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that
follow), can be input.
3. Pressing [Esc] or [Spacebar] exits Hotkey Mode.
