Operation
When Hotkey Mode is active, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended - only Hotkey
compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that follow), can be input.
At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically exit Hotkey Mode. With some operations,
you must exit manually. To exit Hotkey Mode manually, press the Esc key, or the Spacebar.
Switch the KVM focus to another computer along with the USB peripherals:
You can bring the KVM focus plus USB device access (synchronous switching) to any computer with a
hotkey combination that specifies its Port ID (See Pg. 14 for Port ID details):
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (See Pg. 16).
2. Press and release the computer’s Port ID number (1, 2, 3, or 4).
3. Press [Enter].
The KVM focus and USB peripheral access switch to the computer associated with that Port ID, and you
automatically exit Hotkey Mode.
