User Macros

The User Macros page allows you to add macros to the KVM switch that can be performed on any of the connected computers using the Macro List feature of the control panel. (See Macro List section under Control Panel in Remote Session Operation for details.) By default, the User Macros page is displayed when the Hotkeys / Macros icon is clicked on. To display the page when it isn’t selected, click on the User Macros button at the top of the Hotkeys / Macros screen.

To create a macro, follow the steps below.

4.Enter in the macro hotkey sequence and then click the Done button. You will be returned to the User Macros screen, with your macro name and hotkey combination added to the list. Repeat this procedure for any additional macros you wish to create. Note: Clicking the Pause button will pause/unpause the recording of the hotkey sequence. Clicking the Cancel button will cancel the recording of the hotkey sequence. Clicking the Show button will display the hotkeys as they are entered.

System Macros

The System Macros page allows you to add macros to the KVM switch that can be performed automatically upon closing a session. For example, you can create a macro that sends the Winkey-L combination, causing a computer’s login page to come up the next time it is accessed. To display the System Macros page when it isn’t selected, click on the System Macros button at the top of the Hotkeys / Macros screen.

To create a macro, follow the steps below.

1.Click the Add button on the right side of the screen.
