Hotkey Setting Mode (HSM)
Hotkey Setting Mode is used to set up your GCS1722 / GCS1724 switch configuration. All operations begin with invoking
Hotkey Setting Mode (HSM).
Invoking HSM
To invoke HSM do the following:
1. Press and hold down [Num Lock].
2. Press and release [-].
3. Release [Num Lock].
Note:
1. There is an alternate key combination to invoke HSM. See page 16 for details.
2. The minus key must be released within one half second, otherwise Hotkey invocation is canceled.
When HSM is active, the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that HSM is in effect. They stop
flashing and revert to normal status when you exit HSM.
Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only Hotkey compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in
the sections that follow) can be inputted.
At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically exit hotkey mode. With some operations, you must exit
manually. To exit HSM manually, press the ESC key, or the SPACEBAR.
