10. Keyboard Port Operation
10.1 Hotkey Port Control
Hotkey port control allows you to provide KVM focus to a particular computer directly from the keyboard. The Console KVM
Switch provides the following hotkey port control features:
• Selecting the Active Port
• Auto Scan Mode Switching
• Skip Mode Switching
• Computer Keyboard/Mouse Reset
The following settings can also be controlled in Hotkey mode:
• Setting the Beeper
• Setting the Quick Hotkey
• Setting the OSD Hotkey
• Setting the Port Operating System
• Restoring the OSD Default Values
10.1.1 Invoke Hotkey Mode
All hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey mode. (Ensure the Hotkey Command Mode function is enabled and that you
key in the appropriate hotkey.) There are two possible keystroke sequences used to invoke Hotkey mode, though only one can
be operational at any given time: num lock and minus keys.
1. Hold down the num lock key;
2. Press and release the minus key;
3. Release the num lock key: [Num Lock] + [-]
Note: Ensure the Hotkey Command Mode function is enabled and key in the appropriate hotkey.
When Hotkey mode is active:
• A command line appears on the monitor screen. The command line prompt is the word Hotkey: in white text on a blue
background and displays the subsequent hotkey information that you key in.
• Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only hotkey compliant keystrokes (described in the sections that
follow), can be input.
Pressing [Esc] exits Hotkey mode.
10.1.2 Select the Active Port
Each KVM port is assigned a port ID (see Port ID Numbering). You can directly access any computer on the installation with
a hotkey combination that specifies the port ID of the KVM port a computer is connected to. To access a computer using
hotkeys:
1. Invoke hotkey mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.
2. Key in the port ID. The port ID numbers display on the command line as you key them in. If you make a mistake, use
[Backspace] to erase the wrong number.
3. Press [Enter]. After pressing [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated computer and hotkey mode is exited
automatically.
Note: In Hotkey mode, the KVM focus will not switch to a port if an invalid switch or port number is entered. The hotkey command line will
continue to display on the screen until you enter a valid switch and port number combination or exit Hotkey mode.

pressing P or with a left click of the mouse. During the time auto-scanning is paused, the command line displays Auto
Scan: Paused.
• Pausing when you want to keep the focus on a particular computer is more convenient than exiting Auto Scan mode,
because when you resume scanning, you start from where you left off. If, on the other hand, you exited and restarted,
scanning would start over from the very first computer on the installation.
• To resume Auto Scan, press any key or left-click. Scanning continues from where it left off.
• While Auto Scan mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only Auto Scan mode-
compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks can be input. Exit Auto Scan mode in order to regain normal control of the
console.
3. To exit Auto Scan mode press [Esc] or [Spacebar]. Auto-scanning stops when you exit Auto Scan mode.
10.1.4 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 the [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.
• Key in [Arrow], where [Arrow] refers to one of the arrow keys. After an arrow key is pressed, the KVM switch automatically
exits Hotkey mode and enters Skip mode where you can switch ports as follows:
Skips to first accessible port. (See Scan/Skip Mode for details)
Skips to the next accessible port.
• 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. Exit Skip mode in order to regain normal control of the console.
2. To exit Skip mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
10.1.5 Computer Keyboard/Mouse Reset
If the keyboard or mouse ceases 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 the [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.
2. Press [F5].
After pressing [F5], the KVM switch automatically exits 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.
