ATEN CS-74A - Manual (Page 13)

Skip Mode:
This feature allows you to skip from the currently active Port to
the Previous or Next one with a single keystroke. In contrast to
Auto Scan Mode (which switches Ports at a fixed interval), you
can dwell on a particular port for as long or as little as you like.
To activate Skip Mode:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see p. 9)
2. Press [
←
] to skip from the current port to the port that
comes before it (3 to 2; 2 to 1, etc.).
3. Press [ →
] to skip from the current port to the port that comes
after it (1 to 2; 2 to 3, etc.).
Note: 1. Skip Mode remains in effect until you exit it. You can
use [
←
] and [
→
] as often as you like. Ordinary
keyboard and mouse functions are suspended - only
[
←
] and [
→
] can be input. You must exit Skip Mode
in order to regain normal control of the console.
2. Pressing [Esc] or [Spacebar] exits both Skip Mode
and Hotkey Mode.
