Chapter 5. Hotkey Operation
Selecting the Active Port
Each computer port is assigned a port ID (see Port ID Numbering, page 21). You can directly access any computer with a Hotkey combination that specifies the port ID that the computer is connected to. The steps are:
1.Invoke Hotkey mode:
[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 it.
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, the 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.
