Hotkey Operation

Skip Mode

This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them manually. In contrast to
Auto Scanning, which automatically switches after a fixed interval, Skip Mode lets you dwell on a particular
port for as long or as little as you like. To invoke Skip Mode, key in the following Hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see p. 27).
2. Key in [Arrow]
• Where [Arrow] refers to one of the Arrow keys. After you press [Arrow], you automatically exit
HKM, and enter Skip Mode where you can switch ports as follows:
Skips from the current port to the first accessible port previous to it. (See Scan/Skip Mode,
p. 22, for information regarding accessible ports.)
Skips from the current port to the next accessible port.
Skips from the current port to the last accessible port of the previous Station.
Skips from the current port to the first accessible port of the next Station.
• Once you are in Skip Mode, you can keep on skipping by pressing the Arrow keys. You don't have
to use the [NumLock] + [*] combination each time you want to skip.
• 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 in order to regain normal con-
trol of the console.
3. To exit Skip Mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].

Hotkey Beeper Control

The Beeper (see Activate Beeper, p. 24) can be Hotkey toggled On and Off. To toggle the Beeper, key in
the following Hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see p. 27).
2. Press [B]
After you press B, the Beeper toggles On or Off. The Command Line displays Beeper On or Beeper Off for
one second; then the message disappears and you automatically exit the Hotkey Mode.
