F5: SKP
Clicking the F5 field or pressing [F5] invokes Skip (SKP) mode. This function enables you to easily skip
backward or forward – switching the console focus from the currently active computer 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.
•
When you are in skip mode:
press [ ] to switch to the previous computer in the list
press [ ] to switch to the next computer in the list
Note: When you skip, you only skip to the previous or next available computer that is in the Scan–Skip
mode selection.
•
If a port has been selected for Scan–Skip mode, when the focus switches to that port a left/right
triangle symbol appears before its port ID display.
•
When in Skip mode, the console will not function normally. You must exit Skip mode in order to regain
control of the console.
•
To exit skip mode, press [Spacebar] or [Esc].
