Hotkey Operation
Hotkeys allow you to provide KVM focus to a port directly from the keyboard.
The KN9108 / KN9116 provides the following hotkey features:
Auto Scanning
Skip Mode Switching
The hotkeys are:
A
and
P
for Auto Scanning; and the Arrow Keys for Skip
Mode.
Note:
1. In order for hotkey operations to take place, the OSD Toolbar must be
, page 53). To use the keys designated as
hotkeys (i.e. A, P, etc.) for normal, non-hotkey purposes, you must
first close the toolbar.
2. For issues affecting multiple user operation in Auto Scan Mode, see
Auto Scanning
The Auto Scan function automatically switches among all the ports that are
accessible to the currently logged on User at regular intervals, so that the user
can monitor their activity automatically. (See
information regarding accessible ports.)
Setting the Scan Interval
The amount of time Auto Scan dwells on each port is set with the
Scan
Duration
setting (see page 72).
Invoking Auto Scan
To start Auto Scanning, tap the
A
key. The Auto Scan function cycles through
the ports in order - starting from the first port on the installation. An
S
appears
in front of the Port ID Display to indicate that the port is being accessed under
Auto Scan Mode.
