ACS1208 / ACS1216 User Manual
When Hotkey Mode is active:
The Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate so. They stop flashing and revert to normal status when you exit Hotkey Mode.
A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line prompt is the word Hotkey: in yellow 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 and mouse clicks (described in the sections that follow), can be input.
Pressing [Esc] exits Hotkey Mode.
Selecting the Active Port
Each CPU port is assigned a Port ID (see Port ID Numbering, page 14). You can directly access any computer on the installation with a Hotkey combination that specifies the Port ID of the CPU Port that the computer is connected to.
The steps involved are:
1.Invoke Hotkey Mode with the [NumLock] + [*] or [NumLock] +
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 you press [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated computer and you automatically exit Hotkey Mode.
