Action Explanation
Exit remote location Breaks the connection to the KVM switch and returns you to local client computer

on the Control Panel. The default keys are F5, F6, F7.

Toggle mouse display If the display of the two mouse pointers (local and remote) is confusing or annoying, shrink
the non-functioning pointer down to a tiny circle, which can be ignored. This function is a
toggle. Use the hotkeys to bring the mouse display back to its original configuration. This is
equivalent to selecting the Single pointer type from the Mouse Pointer icon on the Control

Cursor
Toggles your local mouse pointer off and on. This is equivalent to selecting the Null pointer
type from the Mouse Pointer icon on the Control Panel. The default keys are F4, F5.
Substitute Ctrl key If your local computer captures Ctrl key combinations, preventing them from being sent to
the remote server, implement their effects on the remote server by specifying a function key
to substitute for the Ctrl key. Example: Substituting the F11 key, pressing [F11 + 5] would
appear to the remote server as [Ctrl + 5]. The default key is F11.
Substitute Alt key In order to implement [Alt + Tab] and [Ctrl + Alt + Del] effects on the remote server,
another key is substituted for the Alt key. Substituting the F12 key, for example, you would
use [F12 + Tab] and [Ctrl + F12 + Del]. The default key is F12.
