Hotkey Mode

Hotkey Port Control

Hotkey port control allows you to provide KVM focus to a particular port directly from the keyboard.

Note: Hotkeys work best in single level and basic cascaded or daisy-chained installations. For installations that combine daisy chaining and cascading, it is simpler, more convenient, and more efficient to use the OSD.

The KA9233 provides the following hotkey port control features:

ŠPort switching

ŠAuto scanning

ŠSkip mode switching

Invoking Hotkey Mode

All hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey mode. You must be viewing a port in the matrix KVM switch to invoke Hotkey mode.
