Operation Switching between computers (Toggle keys) By default, all of the following commands begin by pressing the [Scroll Lock] key twice. A few PC keyboards and all Apple keyboards do not have a [Scroll Lock] key. If you have one of these keyboards you must use the alternate toggle key of [Control] instead. Enter advanced hotkey mode as described in the next section and press [T]. Then all of the following commands will work by simply pressing the [Control] key in place of the [Scroll Lock] key.
[Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] [a] [Enter] This will start the Auto Scan mode, the KVM focus cycles from port to port at a 5 second interval.

Advanced Hotkeys You may enter advanced hotkey mode by pressing and holding [Num Lock] on the number pad, then pressing the [-] key on the number pad and immediately releasing both keys. On Apple keyboards the [Clear] key on the number pad should be used in place of [Num Lock]. If you have done this correctly the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights on the keyboard should begin flashing. This means you are in hotkey mode, which will be shortened to just [HKM] below.
