Direct Switching of Video, Keyboard and Mouse to previous CPU
1. Start Command Mode with the 'Hot Key'. The Caps Lock and Scroll Lock keyboard LEDs will flash
when Command Mode is activated.
2. Press the <p> key on the keyboard.
Command Mode is closed and the console is connected to the previous CPU with complete
control.
Notes:
If the matrix is switched to a CPU that was previously connected with Video Only Access, it will
now be connected to this CPU with full KVM access.
When using ‘Hot Keys’ for direct switching, the user may only be able to connect to unused CPUs
he also has permission to access. The Force Connect and Force Disconnect options, as well as
the restrictions of the User ACL and CON ACL are taken into account.
‘Hot Keys' switching is only supported if the User is logged in, or if neither Enable User Login nor
Enable User ACL is selected.
Disconnect current connection
1. Start Command Mode with the 'Hot Key'. The Caps Lock and Scroll Lock keyboard LEDs will
flash when Command Mode is activated.
2. Press the <Backspace> key on the keyboard. The Command Mode is closed and the console is
disconnected from the currently connected CPU.
Scan Mode
Scan Mode enables fast switching between video inputs from different CPUs in the favorites list without
continuously using the 'Hot Key'. The switching between two video signals can even take place within one
frame.
1. Start command mode with the 'Hot Key'. The Caps Lock and Scroll Lock keyboard LEDs will flash
when Command Mode is activated.
2. Press the <’Hot Key’> key and hold it down. The index number of CPUs 1 – 9 from the list of
favorites can be entered on the keyboard, causing the matrix to switch immediately to the video
signal of the respective CPU.
3. Leave Scan Mode by pressing <’Hot Key’> + <Esc>.
Note: Optimal scan mode results can be achieved by the use of display resolutions as close to identical as
possible. This contributes to a smooth and seamless switching in scan mode.
Function Keys <F1>-<F16>
In Command Mode, macros 1-16 can be invoked with the function keys <F1>–<F16> of the connected
standard keyboard.
The stored command sequence for the appropriate function key is executed and Command Mode is closed.
It is not necessary to use <Enter> to confirm selection of macros.
