Skip Mode Switching

This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them manually. You can focus on a particular port for as long as you like – as opposed to auto-scanning, which automatically switches the port focus after a fixed interval.

Entering Skip Mode

To enter Skip mode, key in the following Hotkey combination:

1.Invoke Hotkey mode:

[Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12]

2.Press one of the [Arrow] keys.

After you press one of the keyboard arrows, you automatically exit Hotkey mode and enter Skip mode where you can switch ports as follows:

←Skips to the first accessible port. (See SCAN/SKIP MODE, page 29, for information regarding accessible ports.)

→Skips to the next accessible port.

↑Skips to the last accessible port of the previous station.

↓Skips to the first accessible port of the next station.

Once you are in Skip mode, you can continue skipping by pressing the arrow keys. You do not have to use the [Num Lock] + [-] combination again.

While Skip mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only Skip mode compliant keystrokes can be input. You must exit Skip mode to regain normal control of the console.

Exiting Skip Mode

1. To exit Skip mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
