23KVM Switches KVM0108A and KVM0116A User Manual
Selecting the Active Port
Each computer port is assigned a port ID (see “Port ID Numbering” on page 12). Any computer can be
directly accessed with a Hotkey combination that specifies the port ID that the computer is connected to.
To select the active port:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode:
[NUM LOCK] + [-] OR [CTRL] + [F12].
2. Enter the port ID. The port ID numbers display on the command line as you enter them. Use
[
BACKSPACE] to erase any mistakes.
3. Press [
ENTER] to focus the KVM switches to the designated computer and automatically exits
Hotkey mode.
Note: In Hotkey mode, the KVM focus will not switch to a port if an invalid switch or port
number is entered. The Hotkey command line will continue to display until a valid switch and
port number combination is entered, or Hotkey mode is exited.
Auto Scan Mode Switching
Auto Scan automatically switches at regular intervals through all the active computer ports accessible to
the currently logged on user. This allows activity to be monitored automatically.
Setting the scan interval
The amount of time Auto Scan stays focused on each port is set with the “Scan Duration” setting of the
OSD F3: SET function (see “F3: SET” on page 16). The scan interval can be changed before activating
Hotkey Auto Scanning by entering the following Hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode: [
NUM LOCK] + [-] or [CTRL] + [F12].
2. Enter
[A][N]: Where [A] is the letter A, and [N] is a number from 1-255 that represents the length of
the focus time in seconds. The letter A and the numbers display on the command line as you enter
them. Use [
BACKSPACE] to erase mistakes.
3. Press [
ENTER] to exit Hotkey mode. Auto Scanning can now be started.
Invoking Auto Scan
To invoke Auto Scanning mode, enter the following Hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode: [
NUM LOCK] + [-] or [CTRL] + [F12].
2. Press
[A] + [ENTER].
– While in Auto Scan mode, scanning can be paused to keep the focus on a particular computer
by pressing
[P]. When paused, the Command Line displays “Auto Scan: Paused.”
– To keep the focus on a particular computer, pausing is more convenient than exiting Auto Scan
mode. When scanning resumes, it starts at the computer where scanning was paused. If Auto
Scanning is exited and then restarted, it starts with the first computer on the installation.
Press any key to resume scanning starting from the computer where scanning was paused.
• While Auto Scan mode is operating, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended. Only
Auto Scan compliant keystrokes can be input. Exit Auto Scan mode to regain normal control of
the console.
Exiting Auto Scan
To exit Auto Scan press [ESC] or [SPACEBAR]. Scanning stops when Auto Scan is exited.
