Hotkey Operation

Skip Mode

This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them manually. You can dwell on a particular port for as long or as little as you like - as opposed to Auto Scanning, which automatically switches after a fixed interval. To invoke Skip Mode, key in the following Hotkey combination:

1.Invoke HKM (see p. 41).

2.Key in [Arrow]

MWhere [Arrow] refers to one of the Arrow keys. After you press [Arrow], you automatically exit HKM, 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. 31, 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. If you are at a port on the First Station you cycle backward to the last accessible port on the Last Station.

↓Skips from the current port to the first accessible port of the next Station. If you are at a port on the Last Station you cycle forward to the first accessible port on the First station.

MOnce you are in Skip Mode, you can keep on skipping by pressing the Arrow keys. You don’t have to invoke HKM again.

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.
