NOTE: It is unnecessary to switch the Sun mark ON or OFF if an authentic Sun

keyboard is being used on the console. In other words, you must ensure that the

Sun-marked port has not been selected if you are already using a Sun keyboard.
With different types of keyboard and computer, the Sun Mark must be set up in

compliance with the following instruction:

Hot-key Commands

Hot-key command is a short keyboard sequence used to select a computer, to activate

computer scan, etc. The KVM interprets keystrokes followed by one or two more

keystrokes. A built-in buzzer generates a high-pitch beep for a correct hotkey command,

otherwise, one low-pitch beep for an error and the bad key sequence will not be

forwarded to the selected computer.
The short form hotkey menu can be turned on as an OSD function (<F4>:More\Hotkey

Menu) every time the left <CTRL> is pressed twice.
NOTE: Left <CTRL>: refers to the Control key on the left side of the keyboard.
1~8/A~H: refers to the number keys ‘1’~’8’ in the upper row of the keyboard and

character keys ‘A’ ~ ‘H’. Do not use the keypad at the right of the keyboard.
To select a computer by hotkey command, you must know its port number, which is

determined by the KVM Switch connection. For a computer connected to a Slave, two

characters represent its port. The first character is the port number of the Master unit

(1~8) and the second one is the port number of the Slave (1~8 or A~H). Please note that

only the Master’s ‘PC1’ ~ ‘PC8’ ports can be connected to a Slave.
EXAMPLES:

Left <CTRL> , Left <CTRL>, <7> : Selects a computer connected to port 7 of the Master.
Left <CTRL> , Left <CTRL>, <6>, <C> : Selects a computer connected to port C of a

Slave connected to port 6 of the Master.

Auto Scan

In this mode, the KVM Switch automatically switches from one power-on computer

to the next, sequentially, in a fixed interval. During AutoScan mode, the OSD displays

the name of the selected computer.
