Skip Mode
This feature allows you to manually sequence between computers in order to monitor them. This manual
version of the Auto Scan mode lets you dwell on a particular port for as long as you like. To invoke
Previous/Next Switching, key in the following Hotkey combination:
1) Invoke Hotkey Mode with the [NumLock] + [-] combination
2) Key in [Arrow] refers to the arrow keys on the keyboard. After you press [Arrow], you automatically
exit Hotkey Mode, and enter Skip Mode where you can switch ports as follows:
Skips from the current port to the first accessible port previous to it. (See Scan/Skip Mode, page 17,
or information regarding accessible ports.)
Skips from the current port to the next accessible port.
Skips from the current port to the last accessible port of the previous Station.
Skips from the current port to the first accessible port of the next Station.
3) To exit Skip Mode, press [Esc]
Note: 1. Once Skip Mode has been invoked, until you exit, you can keep on skipping simply by pressing an Arrow key. You don’t have to
use the [NumLock] + [-] combination again.
2. While Skip Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended—only Skip Mode
compliant keystrokes can
be input. You must exit Skip Mode in order to regain normal control of the console.
Hotkey Beeper Control
The Beeper (see Activate Beeper, page 18) can be Hotkey toggled On and Off.
To toggle the Beeper, key in the following Hotkey combination:
1) Invoke Hotkey Mode with the [NumLock] + [-] combination
2) Key in [B]
After you press [B], the Beeper toggles On or Off. The Command Line displays Beeper On or Beeper Off
for one second; then the message disappears and you automatically exit Hotkey Mode.
