Hot Key Operation

Hotkey Port Selection

Hot key port selection allows you to conveniently access any computer directly form the keyboard, in stead of having to manually select it with a Port Selection switch.

Note: Make sure that DIP Switch 6 (located on the Master View’s rear panel), is set to ON to enable the Hot Key feature under OSD.

To select a port with the Hotkey method, do the following:

1.Press the left and right Ctrl Keys [Ctrl+Ctrl] and release both of them at the same time.

Note: In OSD, when you are at the Main Menu you can key in the Port ID for the computer you wish to access without first having to press the [Ctrl+Ctrl] combination. This avoids the possibility of the [Ctrl+Ctrl] combination conflicting with a key assignment in the currently running application.

2.Key in the Port ID for the PC you want to access (see Port ID Numbering, above, for details), then press [Enter].

The On Screen Display (OSD, see p.15) automatically switches to highlight the PC that you have selected.

When you key in the Port ID, note the following:

wYou must key in the Port ID and press [Enter] within six seconds of releasing the Ctrl+Ctrl combination.

wNumber keys must be pressed from the regular keyboard; not from the numeric keypad.

wThe keys must be pressed and released one key at a time.

wThe interval between key presses cannot be longer than 6 seconds.
