4/8-port KVM switch (for the 4-port device, read “8” as “4”):
Use the number keys <1>~<8>.
For a cascaded setup, first use the number keys <1>~<8> to select a master-side channel, then use the function
keys <F1>~<F8> to select a slave-side port.
Switching occurs immediately after the appropriate keys are pressed, and the OSD reverts to the normal console

To select master port #10~16: press <1> then <0~6> (within 1 sec of the <1>)

No normal keyboard or mouse input is accepted while the text background is red.
To change the text background back to blue (exit Hot Key Mode), either press a number key (combination), or

<Esc> key: Console reverts to the host active before Auto Scan Mode was entered.
