Active Port
Each CPU port is assigned a Port ID (see Port ID Numbering, p. 2-6).
You can directly access any computer on the installation with a Hot-
key that specifies the Port ID of the CPU Port that it is connected to.
The steps involved are:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see p. 3-1).
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.
3. Press [Enter]
The KVM focus switches to the designated computer and you
automatically exit Hotkey Mode.
