Page 47: F5: Skp
Chapter 4. OSD Operation F5: SKP This function enables you to easily skip backward or forward, switching the console focus from the currently active KVM Port to the previous or next available one. The selection of computers to be available for Skip mode switching is made with the Scan/Skip mode setting under the F3 SET function (see page 31).
Page 48: F6: Brc
KH1508 i / KH1516 i User Manual F6: BRC F6 is an administrator only function. When this function is in effect, commands sent from the console are broadcast to all available computers on the installation. This function is particularly useful for operations that need to be performed on multiple computers, such as performing a system wide shutdown, installing or upgrading software, etc.
Page 49: F7: Scan
Chapter 4. OSD Operation F7: SCAN This function automatically switches among the available computers at regular intervals so that you can monitor their activity without having to take the trouble of switching manually. The selection of computers to be included for Auto Scanning is made with the Scan/Skip mode setting under the F3 SET function (see page 31).
Page 50: F8: Lout
KH1508 i / KH1516 i User Manual F8: LOUT Clicking the F8 field, or pressing [F8], logs you out of the OSD and blanks the console screen. This is different from simply deactivating the OSD when you are at the Main Screen by pressing [Esc]. With this function you must log in all over again to regain access to the OSD, whereas with [Esc], all you have to do to reenter the OSD is tap the OSD Hotkey.
Page 51: Invoking Hotkey Mode
Chapter 4. OSD Operation Invoking Hotkey Mode All Hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey mode. To invoke Hotkey mode you may use two possible keystroke sequences shown below.

Page 52: Selecting The Active Port
KH1508 i / KH1516 i User Manual Selecting the Active Port Each computer port is assigned a port ID (see Port ID Numbering, page 24). You can directly access any computer with a Hotkey combination that specifies the port ID that the computer is connected to. The steps are: 1.
Page 53: Auto Scan Mode Switching
Chapter 4. OSD Operation Auto Scan Mode Switching Auto Scan automatically switches among all the active computer ports that are accessible to the currently logged on user at regular intervals. This allows their activity to be monitored automatically (See SCAN/SKIP MODE of the OSD F3 SET function, page 31).
Page 54: Exiting Auto Scan
KH1508 i / KH1516 i User Manual (Continued from previous page.) When you want to keep the focus on a particular computer, Pausing is more convenient than exiting Auto Scan mode. When you resume scanning it starts at the computer where you paused. If you exited and then restarted Auto Scanning, it starts, at the beginning, from the first computer on the installation.
Page 55: Skip Mode Switching
Chapter 4. OSD Operation Skip Mode Switching This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them manually. You can focus 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.
