Computer Keyboard / Mouse Reset
If the keyboard or mouse cease to function on the computer connected to the
currently selected port, you can perform a keyboard / mouse reset on the
computer. This function is essentially the same as unplugging and replugging
the keyboard and mouse on the target computer. To perform a computer
keyboard / mouse reset, key in the following hotkey combination:
1. Invoke hotkey mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12]
combination.
2. Press [F5].
After you press [F5] you automatically exit Hotkey mode and regain keyboard
and mouse control on the computer connected to the KVM port. If you fail to
regain keyboard / mouse control on the computer after pressing [F5], perform
a console keyboard and mouse reset. For more information see Port LEDs,
page 6.
Hotkey Beeper Control
The beeper (see Activate Beeper, page 32) can be hotkey toggled on and off.
To toggle the beeper, key in the following hotkey combination:
1. Invoke hotkey mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12]
combination.
2. Press [B].
After you press [B], the beeper toggles on or off. The command line displays
Beeper On or Beeper Off for one second; then the message disappears and you
automatically exit hotkey mode.
