Controlling KVM Port Connections

Hot Keys for KVM Connections

Predefined keyboard shortcuts (also called hot keys) allow you to perform common actions and launch management windows while connected through a KVM port.

The default hot keys are described in the following table. A plus (+) between two keys indicates that both keys must be pressed at once. When two keys are separated by a space, each key must be pressed separately. For example, “Ctrl+k p” means to press the Ctrl and “k” keys together followed by the “p” key, and “Ctrl Shift+i” means press the Ctrl key followed by the Shift and “i” keys pressed together.

Key Combination Action

Ctrl+k q	Brings up the port connection list so you can switch ports. If you
	press "Esc", you will get disconnected. You can press "Enter" after
	selecting a different port, "Cycle", or "Exit".
Ctrl+k p	Power management. Brings a power management menu with the
	options to turn on, off, or cycle the power for outlets to which the
	current server is connected.
Ctrl+k .	Next Port. Goes to the next authorized port.
Ctrl+k ,	Previous Port. Returns to the previous authorized port.
Ctrl+k v	Video. Brings up a menu that allows you to change between
	“Automatic control”, which compensates for the cable length
	running from the KVM/net to the KVM Terminator connected to
	the server, and “Manual control” for screen brightness and cable
	length adjustment for video quality.
Ctrl+k s	Reset keyboard and mouse. Allows you to reset the keyboard and
	mouse if either of them stops responding.
	The KVM/net administrator may redefine the keyboard shortcuts, as
	described in “Redefining KVM Connection Hot Keys” on page 35. If the
	defaults shown in the previous table do not work, check with your KVM/net
	administrator for the site-specified keys to use.
