Skip Mode
This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them manually. You can dwell on a
particular port for as long as you like – as opposed to auto-scanning, which automatically switches after a fixed
interval. To invoke
Skip mode, key in the following hotkey combination:
1. Invoke hotkey mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12]
combination.
2. Key in [Arrow]
Where [Arrow] refers to one of the arrow keys. After you press an arrow, you automatically exit hotkey mode and
enter
Skip mode where you can switch ports as follows:
Skips to the first accessible port. (See Scan/Skip Mode , page 29, for information regarding
accessible ports.)
Skips to the next accessible port.
Skips to the last accessible port of the previous station.
Skips to the first accessible port of the next station.
Table 23 – Skip Mode
Once you are in Skip mode, you can keep on skipping by pressing the arrow keys. You don't have to use the
[Num Lock] + [-] combination again.
While
Skip mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only
Skip mode compliant
keystrokes can be input. You must exit Skip mode in order to regain normal control of the console.
3. To exit
Skip
mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar] .
Computer Keyboard / Mouse Reset
If the keyboard or mouse cease to function on the computer connected to the currently selected port, you can
perform a keyboard / mouse reset on the computer. This function is essentially the same as unplugging and
replugging the keyboard and mouse on the target computer. To perform a computer keyboard / mouse reset, key
in the following hotkey combination:
1. Invoke hotkey mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.
2. Press [F5].
After you press [F5] you automatically exit Hotkey mode and regain keyboard and mouse control on the computer
connected to the KVM port. If you fail to regain keyboard / mouse control on the computer after pressing [F5],
perform a console keyboard and mouse reset. For more information see
Port LEDs , page 5.
Hotkey Beeper Control
The beeper (see Activate Beeper, page 31) can be hotkey toggled on and off. To toggle the beeper, key in the
following hotkey combination:
1. Invoke hotkey mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.
2. Press [B] .
After you press [B], the beeper toggles on or off. The command line displays Beeper On or Beeper Off for one
second; then the message disappears and you automatically exit hotkey mode.
