Hotkey Operation

Hotkey Port Access

Hotkey port access allows you to provide the KVM focus to a particular port directly from the keyboard. The CL1008 / CL1016 provides three hotkey port access features:

ŠSelecting the Active Port

ŠAuto Scanning

ŠSkip Mode Switching

Note: The hotkey function must be enabled in the settings. See HOTKEY COMMAND MODE, p. 27 for details.

All hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey mode. There are two methods that can be used to invoke Hotkey Mode. The first is to tap the Hotkey key on the keyboard (see Dedicated Invocation Keys, page 60). The second is to use a keyboard sequence.

To invoke Hotkey mode with the keyboard sequence, do the following:

1.Hold down the [Num Lock] key

2.Press and release the [Minus] key

3.Release the [Num Lock] key
