KVM Switches KVM0108A and KVM0116A User Manual20
F5: SKP
Skip backward or forward, switching the console focus from the currently active KVM Port to the
previous or next available port.
• The selection of computers to be available for Skip mode switching is made with the Scan/Skip
mode setting under the F3: SET function.
• When you are in Skip mode, press:
– Left arrow to skip to the previous port in the list
– Right arrow to skip to the next port in the list
– Up arrow to skip to the last port of the previous station in the list
– Down arrow to skip to the first port of the next station in the list
Note: When you skip, you only skip to the previous or next available computer that is
in the Scan/Skip mode selection (see “Scan/Skip Mode” on page 17).
• If a port has been selected for Scan/Skip mode, when the focus switches to that port a left/right
triangle symbol appears before its port ID display.
• While Skip mode is in effect, the console will not function normally. You must exit Skip mode in
order to regain control of the console.
• To exit Skip mode, press the [
SPACEBAR] or [ESC].
F6: BRC
F6 is an administrator only function. When this function is in effect, commands sent from the console are
broadcast to all available computers on the installation.
This function is particularly useful for operations that need to be performed on multiple computers (such
as performing a system wide shutdown, installing or upgrading software, etc.).
BRC works in conjunction with the F2: LIST function. The List function (see “F2: LIST” on page 16), is
used to broaden or narrow the focus of which ports appear on the OSD Main Screen. When you
broadcast a command, it is to the ports currently displayed on the OSD Main Screen.
• While BRC mode is in effect, a speaker symbol appears before the port ID display of the port that
currently has the console focus.
• While BRC mode is in effect, the mouse will not function normally. Exit BRC mode in order to
regain control of the mouse.
• To exit BRC mode, invoke the OSD (with the OSD Hotkey), then click the F6 field, or press
[F6].
