Alternate HSM Invocation Keys
In some instances, the default hotkey settings conict with programs running on your computer
and in some instances the default hotkeys either do not exist on your keyboard (Mac keyboards
do not have [Scroll Lock]), or are inconvenient to use, Hotkey Setting Mode allows you to
select alternate congurations for the KVM’s hotkeys. An alternate set of HSM invocation keys is
provided in case the default set conicts with programs running on the computers.
To switch to the Alternate HSM invocation set:
1. Invoke HSM
2. Press and release [H]
On Alternate HSM, the HSM invocation keys become the [Ctrl] key (instead of Num
Lock) and [F12] (instead of [-] minus key).
Note:
This procedure is a toggle between the two methods. To revert back to the default HSM
invocation keys, invoke HSM, then press and release [H] key again.
Alternate Port Switching Keys
The port switching activation keys can be changed from clicking [Scroll Lock] key twice
([Scroll Lock][Scroll Lock]) to clicking [Ctrl] key twice ([Ctrl][Ctrl]).
To change port switching activation keys:
1. Invoke HSM
2. Press and release [T] key
Note:
This procedure is a toggle between the two methods. To revert back to the default
[Scroll Lock][Scroll Lock] method, invoke HSM, then press and release [T] key again.
