When Hotkey Mode is active:
The Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to
indicate so. They stop flashing and revert to normal status when you exit
Hotkey Mode.
A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line
prompt is the word Hotkey: in yellow 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 and mouse clicks (described in the sections that
follow), can be input.
Pressing [Esc] exits Hotkey Mode.
Selecting the Active Port
Each KVM port is assigned a Port ID (see Port ID Numbering, page 13). You
can directly access any computer on the installation with a Hotkey combination
that specifies the Port ID of the KVM Port that the computer is connected to.
The steps involved are:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode with the [NumLock] + [*] or [NumLock] + [-]
combination
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]
After you press [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated
computer and you automatically exit Hotkey Mode.
