Quickly pressing the <Ctrl> key twice in succession causes the OSD to appear in the upper-left of the screen.

When the text background turns red, the desired host may be switched to by pressing the matching number key(s):
4/8-port KVM switch (for the 4-port device, read “8” as “4”):
Use the number keys <1>~<8>.
For a cascaded setup, first use the number keys <1>~<8> to select a master-side channel, then use the function
keys <F1>~<F8> to select a slave-side port.
Switching occurs immediately after the appropriate keys are pressed, and the OSD reverts to the normal console
(Hot Key Mode is finished).

To select master port #1: press <1> (& wait 1 sec), or press <1> then <Enter>
To select master port #2~9: press <2~9> (no wait)
To select master port #10~16: press <1> then <0~6> (within 1 sec of the <1>)
For a cascaded setup, first use the number keys (as above) to select a master-side channel, then use the function
keys (as below) to select a slave-side port:
To select slave port #1: press <F1> (no wait), or press <F> then <1> (& wait 1 sec), or

Switching occurs immediately after the appropriate keys are pressed, and the OSD reverts to the normal console
(Hot Key Mode is finished).
No normal keyboard or mouse input is accepted while the text background is red.
To change the text background back to blue (exit Hot Key Mode), either press a number key (combination), or
press the <Esc> key, or the <Enter> key.
If the <0> key is pressed while the text background is red, Auto Scan Mode is entered.
Auto Scan Mode may be cancelled as follows:
<Enter> key: Console switches to the currently displayed screen (host).
<Esc> key: Console reverts to the host active before Auto Scan Mode was entered.
