Chapter 5. Hotkey Operation
Selecting the Active Port
Each KVM port is assigned a port ID (see Port ID Numbering, page 28). You can directly access any computer on the installation with a hotkey combination that specifies the Port ID of the KVM port that the computer is connected to. The steps involved are:
1.Invoke hotkey mode (see page 48).
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.
Note: In hotkey mode, 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.
See page 29 for the Touch Screen Icon equivalent of this hotkey combination (for KL3116T only).
