Configuring the KVM through the OSD
Basic Navigation Keys
A short list of keyboard controls to help you navigate through the KVM on
screen display is as follows:
For the keys to work, make sure that your window is selected so that it is in
the
active state.
Default Key Sequences
A key sequence (also known as escape sequence ) is a sequence of special
characters used to send a command to a device or program, in this case the
KVM application. Typically, an escape sequence begins with an escape
character, but this is not universally true.
In KVM, the default key sequence (Ctrl-K, Q) for closing a window (without
saving any changes made) while connected to a port is also called
escape
sequence .
Aside from the navigation keys listed above, you can use the following
default key sequences to perform a specific action:
Key Action
TAB Changes between fields on the window
UP / DOWN Scrolls within a menu
LEFT / RIGHT Selects a button in a button field
BACKSPACE Deletes the character left to the cursor
PAGE UP / PAGE DOWN Pages within a menu
END Moves to the end of a menu
HOME Moves to the top of a menu
ENTER Selects highlighted item / Commit changes
Key Sequence Action
<Ctrl-K>, and then <Q> Quit command - closes the port session and takes
you back to the KVM Main Menu.
<Ctrl-K>, and then <P> Port command - initiates a power control session.
<Scroll Lock> twice, and
then <L> RP Switch to Local command - switches the Alter-
Path KVM RP video display to the local computer.
