    Error! Style not defined. Using the Client Hotkey Simulation Since Windows or other application programs have priority in using hotkeys before the remote server, (for example Ctrl-Alt-Del), the Java remote KVM ignores these keys and does not send them. However, you can assign hotkeys in the Java remote KVM application (see Hotkey Setup on page 91) and these hotkeys are available as buttons on the menu bar so that the user can select hotkeys to send to the AST2000 and the managed server directly.
