Hotkey Setting Mode
The administrator and users can use hotkey combinations to configure a
number of the USB Dual View KVM Extender with Deskew’s working
environment parameters. All Hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey
Setting Mode (HSM).

1. Hold down [Ctrl] .
2. Press and release [F12] .
3. Release [Ctrl] .
Note: There is an alternative key combination to invoke HSM (see
Alternate HSM Invocation Keys , page 22).
When Hotkey Mode is active:

The Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that
HSM is in effect. They stop flashing and revert to normal status when you
exit HSM.
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

compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that
follow), can be input.
