Selecting the Active Port

Each Computer Port is assigned a Port ID (see Port ID Numbering, p. 16). You
can directly access any computer on the installation with a Hotkey combination
that specifies the Port ID of the Computer Port that the computer is connected
to. The steps involved are:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see p. 37).
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.
3. Press [Enter]
After you press [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated
computer and you automatically exit Hotkey Mode.
