Hotkey Port Control

Selecting the Active Port
Each KVM port is assigned a Port ID (see Port ID Numbering, page 25). You
can directly access any computer on the installation with a Hotkey combination
that specifies the Port ID of the KVM port that the computer is connected to.
The steps involved are:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see page 41).
2. Key in the Port ID
The Port ID numbers display on the Command Line as you key them in. If
you make a mistake, use [Backspace] to erase the wrong number.
Note: 1. Just key in the numbers; do not key in the dash.
2. If the port you want to switch to is on the current station, you can
just key in the port number – you do not need to key in the station
number.
3. Press [Enter]
After you press [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated
computer and you automatically exit Hotkey Mode.
Note: The KVM focus will not switch to a port if an invalid switch or port
number is entered. The command line will continue to display on the
screen until you enter a valid switch and port number combination,
or exit hotkey mode.
