Skip Mode - ATEN CS19208 User Manual

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, key in the following hotkey combination:
1. Enable mouse emulation (see page 53).
2. Invoke HSM with the [Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.

3. Key in [ ], [
 After you press an arrow key, you automatically exit HSM and enter
Skip mode where you can switch ports as follows:
←
Skips to the previous accessible port. (See Scan/Skip Mode,
page 36, for information regarding accessible ports.)
→
Skips to the next accessible port.
Skips to the previous accessible port. If the previous accessible
↑
port has cascaded a switch, then it skips to the last accessible
port of that switch.
Skips to the next accessible port. If the next accessible port has
↓
cascaded a switch, then it skips to the first accessible port of that
switch.
 Once you are in Skip mode, you can keep on skipping by pressing the
arrow keys. You don't have to use the [Num Lock] + [-] combination
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.
4. To exit Skip mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
Note: Enable mouse emulation to perform any independent switching of a port
and for Auto Scan Mode or Skip Mode to work (see page 53).
