When HKM is active:
The Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate so.
They stop flashing and revert to normal status when you exit HKM.
A command line appears at the bottom of the monitor screen. The
command line prompt is the word Hotkey: in white text on a blue
background. Text that you key in while in HKM displays here.
Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended
—only Hotkey
compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that
follow), can be input.
Pressing [Esc] or [Spacebar] exits HKM.
Selecting the Active Port
Each KVM port is assigned a port ID (see Port ID Numbering, p. 80). You can
directly access any computer on the installation with a Hotkey combination
that specifies the port ID of the KVM port that the computer is connected to.
The steps involved are:
1. Invoke HKM (see p. 99).
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 the wrong number.
3. Press [Enter]
After you press [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated
computer and you automatically exit HKM.
