Select The Active Port - ATEN CS19208 User Manual

Select the Active Port

Each KVM port is assigned a port ID (see Port ID Numbering, page 26). You
can directly access any computer on the installation with a hotkey combination
that specifies the port ID of the KVM port that a computer is connected to. To
access a computer using hotkeys:
1. Invoke HSM with the [Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.
2. Key in the port ID.
The port ID numbers display on the command line as you key them in. If
you make a mistake, use [Backspace] to erase the wrong number.
3. Press [Enter].
After you press [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated
computer and you automatically exit HSM.
Note: In HSM, KVM focus will not switch to a port if an invalid switch or
port number is entered. The hotkey command line will continue to
display on the screen until you enter a valid switch and port number
combination, or exit HSM.
