Chapter 5. Hotkey Operation
49
Selecting the Active Port
Each computer port is assigned a port ID (see Port ID Numbering, page 31).
You can directly access any computer with a Hotkey combination that specifies
the port ID that the computer is connected to. The steps are:
1. Enter the Hotkey mode with the:
[Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.
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 it.
3. Press
[Enter].
After you press [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated
computer and you automatically exit Hotkey mode.
Note: In Hotkey mode, the KVM focus will not switch to a port if an
invalid switch or port number is entered. The Hotkey command line
will continue to display on the screen until you enter a valid switch
and port number combination, or exit Hotkey mode.
