Skip Mode
This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them
manually. In contrast to Auto Scanning, which automatically switches after a
fixed interval, Skip Mode lets you dwell on a particular port for as long or as
little as you like. To invoke Skip Mode, key in the following Hotkey
combination:
1. Invoke HKM (see page 49).
2. Key in
[Arrow]
Where [Arrow] refers to one of the Arrow keys. After you press
[Arrow], you automatically exit HKM, and enter Skip Mode where you
can switch ports as follows:
Once you are in Skip Mode, you can keep on skipping by pressing the
Arrow keys. You don't have to use the [Num Lock] + [*] combination
each time you want to skip.
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.
3. To exit Skip Mode, press
[Esc]
or
[Spacebar]
