KL9108 / KL9116 User Manual
Keyboard Hotkey Operation
Keyboard hotkey combinations allow you to provide KVM focus to a port directly from the keyboard. The KL9108 / KL9116 provides the following hotkey features:
Auto Scanning
Skip Mode Switching
The hotkeys are: A and P for Auto Scanning; and the Arrow Keys for Skip Mode.
Note: 1. In order for hotkey operations to take place, the OSD Toolbar must be visible (see Port Operation, page 85).
2.To use the keys designated as hotkeys (i.e. A, P, etc.) for normal, non- hotkey purposes, you must first close the toolbar.
3.For issues affecting multiple user operation in Auto Scan Mode, see Multiuser Operation, page 89.
Auto Scanning
The Auto Scan function automatically switches among all the ports that are accessible to the currently logged on user at regular intervals, so that the user can monitor their activity automatically. (See Scan Select, page 40, for information regarding accessible ports.)
Setting the Scan Interval
The amount of time Auto Scan dwells on each port is set with the Scan Duration setting (see page 40).
Invoking Auto Scan
To start Auto Scanning, with the toolbar showing, tap the A key. The Auto Scan function cycles through the ports in order - starting from the first port on the installation. An S appears in front of the Port ID Display to indicate that the port is being accessed under Auto Scan Mode.
