Hotkey Configuration Operations
Keyboard / Mouse Reset
If the keyboard or mouse ceases to function on the computer connected to the
currently selected port, you can perform a keyboard / mouse reset on the
computer. This function is essentially the same as unplugging and replugging
the keyboard and mouse on the target computer. To perform a computer
keyboard / mouse reset, key in the following hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see page 41).
2. Press [F5].
After you press [F5] you automatically exit Hotkey mode and regain keyboard
and mouse control on the computer connected to the KVM port. If you fail to
regain keyboard / mouse control on the computer after pressing [F5], perform
a console keyboard and mouse reset. For more information see Port Selection
Switches, page 9.
Hotkey Beeper Control
The Beeper (see ACTIVATE BEEPER, page 35) can be hotkey toggled On and
Off. When the beeper is set to On, the KN9008 / KN9016 beeps when it
switches ports. To toggle the Beeper, do the following:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see page 41).
2. Press [B]
After you press B, the Beeper toggles On or Off. The Command Line displays
Beeper On or Beeper Off for one second; then the message disappears and you
automatically exit Hotkey Mode.
Toggling the Hotkey Invocation Keys
The Hotkey invocation keys (see HOTKEY, page 33) can be toggled between
the default set ([Num Lock] + [-]), and an alternate set ([Ctrl] + [F12]). To
toggle the invocation keys, do the following:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see page 41).
2. Press [H].
After you press [H], the command line displays HOTKEY HAS BEEN
CHANGED for one second; then the message disappears and you
automatically exit Hotkey mode.
