Hotkey Operation
The CS-1732 / CS-1734 provides an extensive, easy-to-use, hotkey function
that makes it convenient to control and configure your KVM installation from the
keyboard. All hotkey operations with the exception of Skip Mode (see p. ) begin
by invoking Hotkey Mode.
Invoking Hotkey Mode
To invoke Hotkey Mode, do the following:
1. Press and hold down the Num Lock key
2. Press and release the minus key
3. Release the Num Lock key
Note: 1. The minus key must be released within one half second, otherwise
Hotkey invocation is canceled.
2. There is an alternative key combination to invoke HKM. See p. 15
for details.
Hotkey Mode Considerations:
When HKM is active, the Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession
to indicate that HKM is in effect. They stop flashing and revert to normal status
when you exit HKM.
When HKM is active, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended -
only Hotkey compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections
that follow), can be input.
At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically exit hotkey
mode. With some operations, you must exit manually. To exit HKM manually,
press the Esc key, or the Spacebar.
