aPPenDix a: local conSole oPeration
If you’re unfamiliar with local console operation, this section serves as an introduction to its
controls. Additionally, Appendix B features the cable components needed for initial setup of
the Digital KVM over IP Switch.
There are three ways to operate the Digital KVM over IP Switch: using the front-panel buttons,
keyboard hotkeys and the on-screen display (OSD) menus.
Front-Panel Buttons
The front-panel push buttons are used to directly select the active computer channel that can
be controlled by the shared keyboard, mouse and monitor. Pressing the button during normal
operation will cause the corresponding channel to be selected.
Keyboard Hotkeys
Hotkey control is usually considered the most convenient and quickest way to operate the Digital
KVM over IP Switch on the local console. Most of the hotkey control commands are preceded
by two consecutive Scroll Lock keystrokes (done within 2 seconds) and followed by a specic
command key or key sequence:
Hotkey control command = ScrLk + ScrLk + Command key (sequence)
In most cases, it will take at least three keystrokes to complete a command; in some cases, it
will require six (as when selecting a specic bank and port number as an active channel). All
the available hotkey commands and OSD menu options are summarized in the chart below.
