Chapter 5. Keyboard Port Operation
Select the Active Port
Each KVM port is assigned a port ID (see Port ID Numbering, page 27). You can directly access any computer on the installation with a hotkey combination that specifies the port ID of the KVM port that a computer is connected to. To access a computer using hotkeys:
1.Invoke hotkey mode with the [Num Lock] +
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.
Note: In hotkey mode, KVM focus will not switch to a port if an invalid switch or port number is entered. The hotkey command line will continue to display on the screen until you enter a valid switch and port number combination, or exit hotkey mode.
