Hotkey Control
A Hotkey command is a short keyboard sequence for selecting a computer, activating computer
scan, etc. A hotkey sequence starts with two left <CTRL> keystrokes (successively within 0.2
seconds) followed by one or two more keystrokes. A built-in tone generator creates a high-pitch
beep for correct hotkey command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep is generated for errors and the
bad key sequence will not be forwarded to the selected computer.
NOTE: Press and hold Left <SHIFT> and press <NumLock> twice, then release <SHIFT> followed
by pressing left <CTRL> once, which will enable / disable the hotkey feature.
To select a computer:
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <1>
(Example: Selects the computer at port 1.)
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <2>
(Example: Selects the computer at port 2.)
NOTE: Do not use the keypad on the right-side of the keyboard.
