F5: Skp - Tripp Lite NetDirector B024-H4U16 Owner's Manual

9. OSD Operation

9.6.5 F5: SKP

Clicking or pressing [F5] invokes Skip (SKP) mode. This function lets you easily skip backward or forward
and switch the console focus from the currently active computer port to the previous or next accessible one.
Note: Mouse emulation must be enabled for Skip mode to work.
• The selection of computers available for skip mode switching is made with the Scan–Skip mode setting under the F3:
SET function (see 9.6.3 F3: Set for details).
• When you are in skip mode:
Press [ ← ] to skip to the previous accessible port on the list.
Press [ → ] to skip to the next accessible port on the list.
Press [ ↑ ] to skip to the previous accessible port. If the previous accessible port has cascaded a switch, then it skips
to the last accessible port of that switch.
Press [ ↓ ] to skip to the next accessible port. If the next accessible port has cascaded a switch, then it skips to the first
accessible port of that switch
Note: When skipping, you will only skip to the previous or next accessible computer that is in the Scan/Skip mode selection (refer
to Scan/Skip mode in the table in section 9.6.3 F3: Set for details).
• If a port has been selected for Scan/Skip mode, when the focus switches to that port, a set of [ ↑ ], [ ↓ ], [ ← ], [ → ]
symbols appear before its port ID displays.
• While skip mode is in effect, 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].
