5: AlterPath KVM Operation
Default Key Sequences
A key sequence (also known as escape sequence) is a sequence of special
characters used to send a command to a device or program, in this case the
KVM application.
Aside from the navigation keys, you can use the following key sequences to
perform a specific action:
Key Sequence
<Ctrl-K>, and then <Q>
<Ctrl-K>, and then <P>
<Scroll Lock> twice,
and then <L>
<Scroll Lock> twice,
and then <R>

and then <N> or <F>
<Ctrl-K>, and then < . >
<Ctrl-K>, and then < , >
<Ctrl-K>, and then <V>
<Ctrl-K>, and then <S>
NOTE: The default key sequence ^KP is also used for controlling the power
outlet in cascading. By typing <Ctrl-K><P>, while connected to a server in a
KVM port, an OSD menu opens which allows you to switch on/off or cycle
