Hotkey Operation

The CS-1708 / CS-1716 ’s hotkey function makes it convenient to control your

KVM installation from the keyboard.

Note: The hotkey function must be enabled to use hotkey operations. See

Hotkey Command Mode, p. 28 for details.

Invoking Hotkey Mode (HKM)

All hotkey operations begin by invoking HKM. To invoke HKM, do the following:

1. Press and hold down the Num Lock key

2. Press and release the Minus key

3. Release the Num Lock key

[Num Lock] + [-]

Note: 1. The minus key must be released within one half second, otherwise

Hotkey invocation is canceled.

2. There is an alternate invocation combination (see p. 18 for details.)

When HKM is active:

w The Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that

HKM is in effect. They stop flashing when you exit HKM.

w A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line

prompt is the word Hotkey: in yellow text on a blue background. Hotkey

information that you key in displays on the command line.

w Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended - only Hotkey

compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that

follow), can be input.

w At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically exit hotkey

mode. With others, you must exit manually by pressing the Esc key, or the

Spacebar.
