CE770 User Manual
Hotkey Setting Mode
The administrator and users can use hotkey combinations to configure a number of the KVM Extender’s working environment parameters. All Hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey Setting Mode (HSM).
Invoking HSM
To invoke HSM (CE770L only), do the following:
1.Hold down [Ctrl].
2.Press and release [F12].
3.Release [Ctrl].
Note: There is an alternative key combination to invoke HSM (see Alternate HSM Invocation Keys, page 23).
When Hotkey Mode is active:
The Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that HSM is in effect. They stop flashing and revert to normal status when you exit HSM.
A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line prompt is the word Hotkey: in yellow text on a blue background. Hotkey information that you key in displays on the command line.
Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only Hotkey compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that follow), can be input.
At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically exit hotkey mode. With some operations, you must exit manually. To exit HSM manually, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
