Hot-key commands
A Hot-key command is a short keyboard sequence used to select a computer, to activate computer scan, etc. The Console constantly interprets keystrokes for hot-keys. A hot-key sequence starts with two left <CTRL> keystrokes followed by one or two more keystrokes. A built-in alarm generates a high-pitch beep for correct hot-key command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep for error and the bad key sequence will not be forwarded to the selected computer.
The short form hot-key menu can be turned on as an OSD function (<F4>: more\ Hotkey Menu) every time the left <CTRL> key is pressed twice.
L-CTRL: is the <CTRL> key located at the left side of the keyboard.
1~8/A~H: are the number keys ‘1’ ~ ‘8’ at the upper row of the keyboard and character keys ‘A’ ~ ‘H’ case insensitive. Do not use the keypad at the right of the keyboard.
To select a computer by hot-key command, you must know its port number, which is determined by the KVM Module connection. For a computer connected to a Master, its port is represented by the PC port label (1~8 or A~H). For a computer connected to a Slave, two characters represent its port. The first character is the port number of the Master unit (1~8) and the second one is the port number of the Slave (1~8 or A~H). Please note that only Master’s ‘PC 1’ ~’PC 8’ ports can be connected to a Slave.
