HotKey Control
A Hotkey command is a short keyboard sequence for selecting a
computer, activating computer scan, etc. A hotkey sequence starts
with two left <CTRL> keystrokes (successively within 0.2 seconds)
followed by one or two more keystrokes. A high-pitch beep will be
generated for each correct hotkey command; otherwise, one low-pitch
beep is generated for errors and the bad key sequence will not be
forwarded to the selected computer.
NOTE:
Press and hold Left <SHIFT> and press <NumLock> twice,
then release <SHIFT> followed by pressing left <CTRL> once, which
will enable / disable the hotkey feature.
To select a computer:
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <1>
(Example: Selects the computer at port 1.)
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <2>
(Example: Selects the computer at port 2.)
NOTE:
Do not use the keypad on the right-side of the keyboard.
Auto Scan
The KVM automatically scans through the powered-on computers in
sequence on a fixed time interval (see Scan Time below).
To start Auto Scan:
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <F1>
To abort the Auto Scan mode, press the left <CTRL> key twice.
NOTE:
When Auto Scan detects any keyboard activity, it suspends the
scanning until the activity stops; it then resumes with the next computer
in sequence. The length of the Auto Scan interval (Scan Rate) is
adjustable, see below.
Manual Scan
allows users to manually switch back and forth between
powered-on computers.
Left <CTRL> + Left <CTRL> + <F2>
