Hotkey Operation

The CS72D / CS74D provides an extensive, easy-to-use, hotkey function that makes it convenient to control and configure your KVM installation from the keyboard.

Hotkey Setting Mode

All hotkey operations begin with tapping the Scroll Lock key twice. This invokes the Hotkey Setting Mode (HSM), which can be followed by tapping key combinations and the [Enter] key to perform various operations.

The tables below describe the actions that each combination performs.

Note: If using the Scroll Lock key conflicts with other programs running on the computer, the Ctrl key can be used, instead. See Alternate Hotkey Setting Mode, page 14 for details.
