The KH98 provides three methods to obtain instant access to any computer on
your installation: Manual, OSD, and Hotkey.
Manual:

After you press the switch, the Selected LED lights to indicate that the port has
the KVM focus. The OSD (see page 19) automatically switches to highlight
the computer that you have selected.
Note: 1. On a cascaded installation, you must press the Port Selection switch
on the KH98 Station that connects directly to the computer you want
to access.
2. Simultaneously pressing Port Selection buttons 7 and 8 on the First
Stage unit initiates the Auto Scan feature (see F7 SCAN:, page 34), in
which all the ports currently selected for Quick View scanning
(see SET QUICK VIEW PORTS, page 28), are cycled through. The
length of time spent on each port is determined with the Scan
Duration setting under the OSD's F3 SET function (see page 24).
OSD:
OSD (On Screen Display), provides a menu driven interface to handle the
computer switching procedure to provide instant access to any computer on the
installation. OSD operation is discussed in detail beginning on page 19.
Hotkey:
Hotkeys allow you to conveniently provide KVM focus to a particular
computer from the keyboard, instead of having to manually select them by
pressing Port Selection switches. Hotkey operation is discussed in detail
beginning on page 37.
