Hotkey to AIM – Once you have logged into the DX system and you are switched
to a device you can invoke the DX Management (AIM) screen by pressing Shift,
Shift. Where you have cascaded KVM switches in the DX system, the Shift, Shift
hotkey may be assigned as the access hotkey of a particular KVM switch. You

another. The hotkeys appear in the Details view of the Servers window - see page

(default) hotkey Ctrl, Ctrl, 3, Enter. You switch to server 3. As with the AIM
hotkey above, you may need to change the Ctrl, Ctrl hotkey if it is used as an access
hotkey for a cascaded KVM switch.
To change the hotkey choose one of the options from the drop-down menu.
