Hotkey Operation

Hotkey Port Access

Hotkey port access allows you to provide the KVM focus to a particular port 
directly from the keyboard. The CL1008 / CL1016 provides three hotkey port 
access features:

Selecting the Active Port

Auto Scanning

Skip Mode Switching

Note:

The hotkey function must be enabled in the settings. See 

HOTKEY 

COMMAND MODE

, p. 29 for details.

Invoking Hotkey Mode

All hotkey operations begin by invoking 

Hotkey 

mode. There are two methods 

that can be used to invoke Hotkey Mode. The first is to tap the 

Hotkey

 key on 

the keyboard (see

Dedicated Invocation Keys

, page 64). The second is to use a 

keyboard sequence.

To invoke Hotkey mode with the keyboard sequence, do the following:

1. Hold down the 

[Num Lock]

 key

2. Press and release the 

[Minus]

 key

3. Release the 

[Num Lock]

 key

Exiting Hotkey Mode

Press 

[Esc]

 to exit 

Hotkey

 mode.
