When Hotkey Mode is active:
Š The Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate
Hotkey Mode is active. 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.
Š Pressing [Esc] exits Hotkey Mode.
Selecting the Active Port
Each Computer Port is assigned a Port ID (see Port ID Numbering, page 19).
You can directly access any computer on the installation with a Hotkey
combination that specifies the Port ID of the Computer Port that the computer
is connected to. The steps involved are:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see page 34).
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.
Note: 1. Just key in the numbers; do not key in the dash.
2. If the port you want to switch to is on the current station, you can
just key in the port number – you do not need to key in the station
number.
3. Press [Enter]
After you press [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated
computer and you automatically exit Hotkey Mode.
