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 installations that combine daisy chaining and

cascading, it is simpler, more convenient, and more efficient to use the

OSD.

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

 Selecting the Active Port

 Auto Scanning

 Skip Mode Switching

Invoking Hotkey Mode

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

HKM involves the following three steps:

1. Press and hold down the [Num Lock] key.

2. Press the [*] (asterisk) key or the [-] (minus) key, and then release it

within one-half second.

3. Release the [Num Lock] key.
