Hotkey Mode Operation

Hotkey Mode Characteristics

When Hotkey Mode is active:

 The Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate so.

They stop flashing and revert to normal status when you exit Hotkey mode.

 A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line

prompt is the word Hotkey: in white text on a blue background, and

displays the subsequent hotkey information that you key in.

 Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only hotkey

compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that

follow), can be input. You must exit Hotkey mode (see p. 35) in order to

regain normal control of the console.

Selecting the Active Port

Each KVM port is assigned a unique Port ID (see Port ID Numbering,

page 19). You can directly access any computer on the installation with a

hotkey combination that specifies the port ID of the KVM port that the

computer is connected to. The steps involved are:

1. Invoke Hotkey mode (see page 35).

2. Key in the port ID

The port ID numbers display on the command line as you key them in. If

you make a mistake, use [Backspace] to erase the wrong number.

3. Press [Enter]

After you press [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated

computer and you automatically exit Hotkey mode.
