Hotkey Setting Mode
In addition to the OSD, the administrator and users can also use hotkey
combinations to configure a number of the CE800
B USB KVM Extender’s
working environment parameters. All Hotkey operations begin by invoking
Hotkey Setting Mode (HSM).
Invoking HSM
To invoke HSM, do the following:
1. Hold down [Num Lock].
2. Press and release [minus].
3. Release [Num Lock].
Note: There is an alternative key combination to invoke HSM (see
Alternate HSM Invocation Keys, page 26).
When Hotkey Mode is active:
The Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that
HSM is in effect. They stop flashing and revert to normal status when you
exit HSM.
A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line
prompt is the word Hotkey: in yellow text on a blue background. Hotkey
information that you key in displays on the command line.
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 HSM
manually, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
