Hotkey Operation
The KL3116's hotkey function makes it convenient to control your KVM
installation from the keyboard.
Note: The hotkey function must be enabled to use hotkey operations.
See
HOTKEY COMMAND MODE , page 37, for details.
Invoking Hotkey Mode (HKM)
All hotkey operations begin by invoking HKM. To invoke HKM, do the
following:
1. Press and hold down the [Num Lock] key
2. Press and release the [-] (minus) key
3. Release the [Num Lock] key
[Num Lock] + [-]
Note: There is an alternate invocation combination (see page 51 for details.)
When HKM Is Active
Š
The Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that
HKM is in effect. They stop flashing when you exit HKM.
Š
A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line
prompt is the word
Hotkey: in yellow text on a blue background. Hotkey
information that you key in displays on the command line.
Š
Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended—only Hotkey
compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that
follow) can be input.
Š
At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically exit
hotkey mode. With others, you must exit manually by pressing the [Esc]
key, or the [Spacebar].
