Skip Mode
This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them
manually. You can dwell on a particular port for as long as you like – as
opposed to auto scanning, which automatically switches after a fixed interval.
To invoke Skip Mode, do the following:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see page 41).
2. Key in [Arrow]
 Where [Arrow] refers to one of the Arrow keys. After you press
[Arrow], you automatically exit Hotkey Mode, and enter Skip Mode
where you can switch ports as follows:
Skips from the current port to the first accessible port previous to it.
←
(See SCAN–SKIP MODE, page 33, for information regarding
accessible ports.)
→
Skips from the current port to the next accessible port.
Skips from the current port to the last accessible port of the previous

station.
Skips from the current port to the first accessible port of the next
↓
station.
 Once you are in Skip Mode, you can keep on skipping by pressing the
Arrow keys. You don't have to use the hotkey invocation keys again.
 While Skip Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions
are suspended - only Skip Mode compliant keystrokes can be input.
You must exit Skip Mode in order to regain normal control of the
console.
3. To exit Skip Mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
