Skip Mode Skip Mode allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor
them manually. Unlike Auto Scanning, which automatically switches
after a fixed interval, you can dwell on a particular port for as long or
as little as you like.
To invoke Skip Mode, key in the following Hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see p. 3-1).
2. Key in [Arrow]
Where [Arrow] refers to one of the Arrow keys. After you press
[Arrow], you automatically exit Hotkey Mode, and enter Skip
Mode where you can switch ports as follows:
←Skips from the current port to the first accessible port
previous to it. (See Scan/Skip Mode, p. 4-7, for
information regarding accessible ports.)
→Skips from the current port to the next accessible port.
↑Skips from the current port to the last accessible port of
the previous Station.
↓Skips from the current port to the first accessible port
of the next Station.
While you are in Skip Mode, note the following:
MYou can keep on skipping by pressing the Arrow keys. You don’t
have to invoke Hotkey mode each time you want to skip.
MWhile 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.
1. To exit Skip Mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
