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, page 30). 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 page 49).
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.
