KVM Switches KVM0108A and KVM0116A User Manual24
Skip Mode Switching
Switch between computers to manually monitor them. Focus on a particular port for as long as you like,
as opposed to auto-scanning, which automatically switches the port focus after a fixed interval.
Entering skip mode
To enter Skip mode, enter the following Hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode: [
NUM LOCK] + [-] or [CTRL] + [F12].
2. Press one of the Arrow keys.
3. After you press one of the arrow keys, Hotkey mode is automatically exited and Skip mode
entered. Switch ports as follows:
– Left arrow skips to the first accessible port (see “Scan/Skip Mode” on page 17 for information
regarding accessible ports)
– Right arrow skips to the next accessible port
– Up arrow skips to the last accessible port of the previous station
– Down arrow skips to the first accessible port of the next station
4. Once in Skip mode, continue skipping by pressing the arrow keys. The [
NUM LOCK] + [-]
combination does not have to be used again.
5. While Skip mode is engaged, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended. Only Skip
mode compliant keystrokes can be input. Exit Skip mode to regain normal control of the console.
Exiting skip mode
To exit Skip mode, press [ESC] or [SPACEBAR].
Computer Keyboard/Mouse Reset
If either the keyboard or mouse stop functioning on the computer connected to the currently selected
port, you can perform a keyboard/mouse reset on the computer.
1. Invoke Hotkey mode: [
NUM LOCK] + [-] or [CTRL] + [F12]
2. Press
[F5]. After pressing [F5] Hotkey mode is automatically exited and keyboard and mouse
control on the computer connected to the KVM port is regained. If keyboard/mouse control on
the computer fails after pressing
[F5], perform a system reset (see “Reset Switch” on page 5).
This function is essentially the same as unplugging and replugging the keyboard and mouse on the target
computer.
Setting the Hotkey Beeper ON/OFF
Turn the beeper (see “Activate Beeper” on page 18) on and off with Hotkeys:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode: [
NUM LOCK] + [-] or [CTRL] + [F12].
2. Press
[B] to turn the beeper on or off. The command line displays “Beeper On” or “Beeper Off”
for one second; then the message disappears Hotkey mode is automatically exited.
