after a fixed interval. To invoke Skip Mode, key in the following Hotkey
combination:

Where [Arrow] refers to one of the Arrow keys. After you
press [Arrow], you automatically exit Hotkey Mode, and enter
Skip Mode where you can switch ports as follows:
Skips from the current port to the first accessible port
previous to it. (See Scan/Skip Mode, p. 4-7, for
information regarding accessible ports.)
Skips from the current port to the next accessible port.
Skips from the current port to the last accessible port
of the previous Station.
Skips from the current port to the first accessible port

pressing the Arrow keys. You don’t have to use the

regain normal control of the console.
