CHAPTER 5: OPERATION
5.1.3 FUNCTION KEYS <F1>–<F6>
In Command Mode, you can retrieve the macros 1–16 with the function keys <F1>–<F16> on the connected standard keyboard
instead of the special macro keyboard.
The stored command sequence for the appropriate function key is executed and Command Mode is left immediately.
NOTE: It is not necessary to use <Enter> to confirm selection of macros.
5.1.4 ADDRESSING OF MAIN AND SUB MATRICES
The Compact KVM Matrix Switch can be cascaded over two levels. You can send the commands (including opening the OSD)
to either the main or the sub matrix.
When in command mode, you can select whether commands should be handled in the main or the sub matrix.
OSD Access
OSD access to the main matrix: <Left Shift>, <Left Shift>, <m> (optional), <o>
OSD access to the sub matrix: <Left Shift>, <Left Shift>, <s>, <o>
To do a cross-matrix switching, proceed as follows:
1. Open the OSD of the master matrix with the following keyboard sequence:
<hotkey>, <o>
2. Select the CPU device configured as Tie Line in the CPU selection list and press <Enter> to switch.
3. Open the OSD of the sub matrix with the following keyboard command:
<hotkey>, <s>, <o>
4. Select your target CPU in the CPU selection list of the sub matrix.
NOTE: The selected master matrix / sub matrix mode is permanently activated until the other mode will be manually activated.
This means that if you select <s>, all prospective commands will be sent to the sub matrix, but not if the Command Mode
is left in the meantime.
