keystrokes for hot-keys all the time. A hot-key sequence starts with two left <CTRL> keystrokes followed by one or two more keystrokes.

Abuilt-in buzzer generates a high-pitch beep for correct hot-key command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep for error and the bad key sequence will not be forwarded to the selected computer.

The short form hot-key menu can be turned on as an OSD function (<F4>: more\Hotkey Menu) every time the left <CTRL> key is pressed twice.

L-CTRL: is the <CTRL> key located at the left side of the keyboard.

1~8/A~H: are the number keys '1' ~ '8' at the upper row of the keyboard and character keys 'A' ~ 'H' case insensitive. Do not use the keypad at the right of the keyboard.

￿To select a computer by hot-key command, you must know its channel address, which is determined by the StarView connection. For a computer connected to a Master, its address is represented by the PC port label (1~8 or A~H). For a computer connected to a Slave, two characters represent its address. The first character is the channel address of the Master unit (1~8) and the second one is the channel address of the Slave (1~8 or A~H). Please note that only Master's 'PC 1' ~'PC 8' ports can be connected to a Slave.

Left Ctrl + left Ctrl + 7

Selects a computer connected to port 7 of the Master. Left Ctrl + left Ctrl + 6 + C

Selects a computer connected to port C of a Slave connected to port 6 of the Master.

￿To start Auto Scan, automatically scan power-on computers one by one at a fixed interval:

left Ctrl + left Ctrl + F 1

When Auto Scan detects any keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends the scanning till activity stops; it then resumes with the next computer in sequence. The length of the Auto Scan interval (Scan Rate) is adjustable, see below. To abort the Auto Scan mode, press the left Ctrl key twice.

Note: For OSD models, Scan Type determines whether eye mark is necessary during Auto Scan.
