Skip Mode
This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them
manually. In contrast to Auto Scanning, which automatically switches after a
fixed interval, Skip Mode lets you dwell on a particular port for as long or as
little as you like. To invoke Skip Mode, key in the following Hotkey
combination:
1. Invoke HKM (see p. 51).
2. Key in [Arrow]
w Where [Arrow] refers to one of the Arrow keys. After you press [Arrow],
you automatically exit HKM, and enter Skip Mode where you can switch
ports as follows:
←
Skips from the current port to the first accessible port
previous to it. (See Scan/Skip Mode, p. 3-41, for information
regarding accessible ports.)
→
Skips from the current port to the next accessible port.
↑
Skips from the current port to the last accessible port of the
previous Station.
↓
Skips from the current port to the first accessible port of the
next Station.
w Once you are in Skip Mode, you can keep on skipping by pressing the
Arrow keys. You don’t have to use the [NumLock] + [
*
] combination
each time you want to skip.
w While Skip Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions
are suspended - only Skip Mode compliant keystrokes can be input. You
must exit Skip Mode in order to regain normal control of the console.
3. To exit Skip Mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
