KM0832 User Manual

When HKM is active:

ŠThe Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate so. They stop flashing and revert to normal status when you exit HKM.

ŠA command line appears at the bottom of the monitor screen. The command line prompt is the word Hotkey: in white text on a blue background. Text that you key in while in HKM displays here.

ŠOrdinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended—only Hotkey compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that follow), can be input.

ŠPressing [Esc] or [Spacebar] exits HKM.

Selecting the Active Port

Each KVM port is assigned a port ID (see Port ID Numbering, p. 80). 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 HKM (see p. 99).

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 HKM.
