Invoking HSM
Hotkeys provide independent switching of the KVM, USB hub and audio focus. You can give one computer the KVM console focus, another the USB hub focus, and the other two the audio focus. All operations begin with invoking Hotkey Setting Mode (HSM).
To invoke HSM do the following:
1.Press and hold down [Num Lock].
2.Press and release
3.Release [Num Lock].
Note: The hotkey for invoking HSM can be change to another combination. See Hotkey Selection Mode, page 41 for details.
When HSM 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.
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 the Esc key, or the spacebar.
The following table describes the actions that each combination performs on the CM1164 bar. You have to invoke HSM first then enter the key combinations, and this applies to each hotkey command you want to perform.
