Selecting a Server or BANK Using Hot-Key Commands

To send commands to the KVM Switch, the “Scroll Lock” key must be pressed twice within two seconds. The LCD Rack Console will beep, confirming that it is in hot-key mode. Next, press the “Up” arrow key and the PRO3 KVM Switch will switch to the previous port. Press the “Down” arrow key to switch to the next port.

With a single-switch configuration (no daisy-chained KVM switches), you can switch directly to any port by entering the 2-digit number of the port you wish to access. For example, if you press “Scroll Lock”, “Scroll Lock”, “02”, the PRO3 KVM Switch will switch to the server on Port 2 located on BANK 00.
