Hotkey Operation

Hotkey Port Control

Hotkey Port Control allows you to provide KVM focus to a particular computer

directly from the keyboard.

Note: Hotkeys work best in single stage and basic cascaded or daisy chained

installations. For complicated daisy chain+cascaded installations, it is

simpler, more convenient, and more efficient to use the OSD.

The KM0216 / KM0432 provides the following Hotkey Port Control features:

w Selecting the Active Port

w Auto Scanning

w Skip Mode Switching

Invoking Hotkey Mode

All Hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey Mode (HKM). Invoking

HKM takes three steps:

2. Press the

key or the - (minus) key

3. Simultaneously release both keys

[Num Lock] + [

]

or:
