CHAPTER 4: OPERATION
4. OPERATION
A keyboard hotkey sequence consists of at least three specific keystrokes:
Hotkey sequence = [ScrLk]* + [ScrLk] * + Command key(s)
* User-definable = SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12 or NUM LOCK
Hotkey preceding sequence configuration: For users who want to use a preceding sequence other than two consecutive Scroll Locks,
there is also one convenient way to configure it.
1. Press Scro Scro H, then two beeps will signal readiness for new preceding sequence selection (or Press and hold down
the last front-panel button [Button 2 or Button 4] until you hear two beeps, then release the button.)
2. Select and press the key you would like to use as your preceding sequence (SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12 or NUM LOCK keys
are available for selection) and you’ll hear a beep for selection confirmation. Now you can use the new preceding sequence to execute
your hotkey commands.
NOTE: Press each keystroke within a hotkey sequence within 2 seconds. Otherwise, the hotkey sequence will not be validated.
NOTE: Hotkey sequence = [ScrLk]* + [ScrLk] * + Command key(s)
* User-definable Preceding sequence = SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12, or NUM LOCK

NOTES:
1. The USB keyboard hotkeys allow you a faster and broader control for your KVM switching operation in addition to the front-panel
button. If you have configured a hotkey preceding sequence other than two consecutive scroll locks, here you should change
your hotkey sequence accordingly. (For preceding sequence key configuration, please refer to ”Define Hotkey Preceding Sequence”
in above table.)
