3.4 Keyboard hotkey control
AdderLink XR unit may be set to respond to various keyboard hotkey combinations. These keyboard hotkeys are selected using the option switches on the side of the AdderLink XR unit (see section 2.7). Keyboard hotkeys may be used to switch off the video, lock the AdderLink and enter video compensation / configuration mode. On the AdderLink Gold the keyboard hotkeys are also used to select between the remote (1) and local (2) computers.
All of the hotkey control commands are invoked by holding down the two hotkeys and then pressing a command key. By default, the two hotkeys are ‘CTRL’ and ‘ALT’, although other combinations can be selected by reconfiguring the hotkeys (see section 2.7). Once the hotkey command has been activated you will need to release the hotkeys and the command key before a new hotkey command is accepted by the AdderLink. HOTKEYs + TAB is an exception and this allows you to 'tab through' the ports by holding down the hotkeys and repeatedly pressing TAB.
