Hot-key commands
Hot-key command is a short keyboard sequence to select a
computer, to activate computer scan, etc. StarView interprets
keystrokes for hot-keys all the time. A hot-key sequence starts with
two left <CTRL> keystrokes followed by one or two more keystrokes.
A built-in buzzer generates a high-pitch beep for correct hot-key
command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep for error and the bad key
sequence will not be forwarded to the selected computer.
g To select a computer by hot-key command, you must know its
channel address, which is determined by the StarView connection.
For a computer connected to a Master, its address is represented by
the PC port label (1~8 or A~H). For a computer connected to a
Slave, two characters represent its address. The first character is the
channel address of the Master unit (1~8) and the second one is the
channel address of the Slave (1~8 or A~H). Please note that only
Master's 'PC 1' ~'PC 8' ports can be connected to a Slave.
Left Ctrl + left Ctrl + 7
Selects a computer connected to port 7 of the Master.
Left Ctrl + left Ctrl + 6 + 3
Selects a computer connected to port 3 of a Slave connected to port
6 of the Master.
g To start Auto Scan, automatically scan power-on computers one
by one at a fixed interval:
left Ctrl + left Ctrl + F 1
When Auto Scan detects any keyboard or mouse activity, it
suspends the scanning till activity stops; it then resumes with the next
computer in sequence. The length of the Auto Scan interval (Scan
Rate) is adjustable, see below. To abort the Auto Scan mode, press
the left Ctrl key twice.
g To adjust Scan Rate which sets the duration before switching to
the next computer in Auto Scan:
left Ctrl + left Ctrl + F3
The StarView sends one to four beeps indicating scan interval of 3, 8,
15 and 30 seconds respectively.
