8. Hotkey Operation

B006-VU4-1 provides an extensive, easy-to-use hotkey function that makes it convenient to control and configure your
KVM installation from the keyboard.

8.1 Port Switching

All port switches begin with tapping the Scroll Lock key twice. The tables below describe the actions that each
combination performs.
Note: If using the Scroll Lock key conflicts with other programs running on the computer, the Ctrl key can be used, instead. See
Alternate Port Switching Keys for details.

8.2 Cycling Through the Ports

Hotkey

Note: The n stands for the computer's Port ID number (1, 2, 3, or 4). Replace the n with the appropriate Port ID when entering hotkey
combinations.

8.3 Auto Scanning

The B006-VU4-1 Auto Scan feature automatically cycles the KVM focus through the computer ports at regular intervals.
This allows you to monitor the computer activity without having to take the trouble of switching from port to port manually.

Notes:
• While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only Auto Scan Mode compliant
keystrokes and mouse clicks can be input. You must exit Auto Scan Mode to regain normal control of the console.
• Although the video focus switches from port to port, the keyboard and mouse do not switch. They stay at the port they were on when
Auto Scanning started.
• To exit Auto Scan Mode, press the Esc key or the Spacebar.

seconds that the B006-VU4-1 should dwell on a port
before moving on to the next, as follows:
1 = 3 seconds
2 = 5 seconds (default)
3 = 10 seconds
4 = 20 seconds
