Toolbar Hotkey Port Switching
When the toolbar displays, you can use hotkeys to provide KVM focus to a port
directly from the keyboard. The KVM Over the NET™ switch provides the
following hotkey features:
Š
Going directly to a port by keying in its port number and clicking Enter .
Š Auto Scanning
Š Skip Mode Switching
The hotkeys are: A and P for Auto Scanning; and the Arrow Keys for Skip
Mode.
Note: 1. In order for hotkey operations to take place, the toolbar must be
visible (see The Port Toolbar , page 219).
2. To use the keys designated as hotkeys (i.e. A, P, etc.) for normal, non-
hotkey purposes, you must first close the toolbar.
3. For issues affecting multiple user operation in Auto Scan Mode, see
Multiuser Operation , page 226.
Auto Scanning
The Scan function automatically switches among all the ports that are
accessible to the currently logged on user at regular intervals, so that the user
can monitor their activity automatically. Users can also limit the number of
ports scanned with the Filter function of the Sidebar. See
KVM Devices and
Ports – Connections Page , page 105, and Filter , page 101, for further details.
Š Setting the Scan Interval:
The amount of time Auto Scan dwells on each port is set with the
Scan
Duration setting (see Scan Duration , page 122).
Š Invoking Auto Scan
To start Auto Scanning, with the toolbar showing, tap the
A key. The Auto
Scan function cycles through the ports in order – starting from the first
port on the installation. An
appears in front of the Port ID Display to
indicate that the port is being accessed under Auto Scan Mode.
