When Hotkey mode is active:
A command line appears on the monitor screen. The command line prompt is the word • Hotkey: in
white text on a blue background, and displays the subsequent hotkey information that you key in.
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.
Select the Active Port
Each KVM port is assigned a port ID (see Port ID Numbering). You can directly access any computer on
the installation with a hotkey combination that species the port ID of the KVM port that a computer is
connected to. To access a computer using hotkeys:
Invoke hotkey mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.1.
Key in the port ID. 2.
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.
