Chapter 5. Hotkey Operation
Computer Keyboard / Mouse Reset
If either the keyboard or mouse stop functioning on the computer connected to the currently selected port, you can perform a keyboard / mouse reset on the computer by executing the following steps:
1.Invoke Hotkey mode:
[Num Lock] +
2.Press [F5].
After you press [F5] you automatically exit Hotkey mode and regain keyboard and mouse control on the computer connected to the KVM port. If you fail to regain keyboard / mouse control on the computer after pressing [F5], perform a system reset. For more information see Reset Switch, page 7.
This function is essentially the same as unplugging and replugging the keyboard and mouse on the target computer.
Setting the Hotkey Beeper ON/OFF
The beeper (see Activate Beeper, page 29) can be turned on and off with Hotkeys by the following steps:
1.Invoke Hotkey mode:
[Num Lock] +
2.Press [B].
After you press [B], the beeper turns on or off. The command line displays Beeper On or Beeper Off for one second; then the message disappears and you automatically exit Hotkey mode.
