Hot-key commands
Hot-key command is a short keyboard sequence to select a computer, to
activate computer scan, etc. StreamLine interprets keystrokes for
hot-keys all the time. A hot-key sequence starts with two left <CTRL>
keystrokes followed by one or two more keystrokes. A built-in buzzer
generates a high-pitch beep for correct hot-key command; otherwise, one
low-pitch beep for error and the bad key sequence will not be forwarded
to the selected computer.
The short form hot-key menu can be turned on as an OSD function (<F4>:
more\Hotkey Menu) every time the left <CTRL> key is pressed twice.
L-CTRL: is the <CTRL> key located at the left side of the
keyboard.
1~8/A~H: are the number keys '1' ~ '8' at the upper row of the
keyboard and character keys 'A' ~ 'H' case insensitive.
Do not use the keypad at the right of the keyboard.
g To select a computer by hot-key command, you must know its port
number, which is determined by the StreamLine KVM switch
connection. For a computer connected to a Master, its port is
represented by the PC port label (1~8 or A~H). For a computer
connected to a Slave, two characters represent its port. The first
character is the port number of the Master unit (1~8) and the second
one is the port number of the Slave (1~8 or A~H). Please note that
only Master's 'PC 1' ~'PC 8' ports can be connected to a Slave.
Left Ctrl + left Ctrl + 7
Selects a computer connected to port 7 of the Master.
Left Ctrl + left Ctrl + 6 + C
Selects a computer connected to port C of a Slave connected to port 6
of the Master.
