Alternate Command Hot Key

To enable the administrator to assign a key in addition to the <`> (accent/tilde key) to use with <Ctrl> to enter into OSD Command Mode, an Alternate Command Hot Key option is provided. The default factory setting for this option is <`> (disabling the option).

To select an Alternate Command Hot Key, press <A> from the System configuration menu (page 20). A window will open and the administrator will be prompted to press a key. Any key except Ctrl, Shift, Alt, Tab, Esc, or Enter can be used. After pressing the key, a confirmation message will appear. The administrator should press <Y> (Yes) to validate the key as the Alternate Command Hot Key, or <N> (No) to select another key.

Pressing <Esc> will return to the Administration Mode menu.

Only the administrator is able to set or change the Alternate Command Hot Key. This function must be set individually for each of the USB User Device ports on the UNIMUX USB KVM switch .

Note: The Alternated Command Hot Key does not replace the <`> (accent) key, it just works as another way to enter into Command Mode. After setting it, the user can enter into Command Mode either with <Ctrl> + <`> or with <Ctrl> + <Alternate Command Hot Key> combination. To disable it, the administrator should set <`> as the Alternate Command Hot Key.
