You don't have to use the [Num Lock] + [-] combination again.

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 15.
