Selecting the Active Port
Each Computer Port is assigned a Port ID (see Port ID Numbering, p. 16). You can directly access any computer on the installation with a Hotkey combination that specifies the Port ID of the Computer Port that the computer is connected to. The steps involved are:
1.Invoke Hotkey Mode (see p. 37).
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 the wrong number.
3.Press [Enter]
After you press [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated computer and you automatically exit Hotkey Mode.
