Hot-key commands

A Hot-key command is a short keyboard sequence for selecting a computer, 
activating computer scan, etc.  A hot-key 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 
hot-key command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep is generated for errors and 
the bad key sequence will not be forwarded to the selected computer.  
NOTE: Left <CTRL>: refers to the Control key on the left side of the 
keyboard.
1~8: refers to the number keys ‘1’~’8’ in the upper row of the keyboard. Do 
not use the keypad at the right of the keyboard.

To select a computer by hot-key command, you must know its port number, 
which is determined by the KVM switch connections.
EXAMPLES:

Left <CTRL> , Left <CTRL>, 7 : Selects a computer connected to PC port 
7 on the KVM switch.

Auto Scan

In this mode, the KVM Switch automatically switches from one power-on 
computer to the next, sequentially, at a fixed interval.

Left <CTRL>, Left <CTRL>, F1

When Auto Scan detects any keyboard or mouse 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 Time) is adjustable. 
To abort Auto Scan mode, press the left <

CTRL> key twice.
