Redefining Keyboard Shortcuts (Hot Keys)
Predefined keyboard shortcuts (also called hot keys) allow users to do the
following:
• Perform common actions while connected through a KVM port
• Emulate Sun keyboard keys while connected through a KVM port to a Sun
server.
If desired, the KVM administrator can redefine the default hot keys either
through the Web Manager or the OSD.
Redefining KVM Connection Hot Keys
The hot key sequences used while connected to KVM ports have two parts,
which are called the
common escape sequence and the command key . The
default common escape sequence is
Ctrl+k
, and the command key is
different for each command. For example, the
q
command key is entered after
Ctrl+k
to quit the login session as shown here:
