Skip Mode; Invoking Skip Mode; Exiting Skip Mode - ATEN CL5816 User Manual

Skip Mode

Skip Mode 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 the port focus after a
fixed interval.

Invoking Skip Mode

To start Skip mode, do the following:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode (see page 46).
2. Press an [Arrow] key.
Once you press an arrow key, you automatically exit Hotkey mode and
enter Skip mode where you can switch ports as follows:
←
Skips to the first accessible port. (See SCAN–SKIP MODE,
page 37, for information regarding accessible ports.)
→
Skips to the next accessible port.
↑
Skips to the last accessible port of the previous station.
↓
Skips to the first accessible port of the next station.
Once you are in Skip mode, you can continue skipping by pressing the arrow
keys. You do not have to use the Hotkey invocation 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 to regain normal control of the console.

Exiting Skip Mode

1. To exit Skip mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
5. Keyboard Port Operation
