Skip Mode
This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them
manually. You can dwell on a particular port for as long as you like – as
opposed to Auto Scanning, which automatically switches after a fixed interval.
To invoke Skip Mode, key in the following Hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode with the [Num Lock] + [*] or [Num Lock] + [-]
combination.
2. Key in [Arrow]
Where [Arrow] refers to the left or right Arrow key. After you press
[Arrow], you automatically exit Hotkey Mode, and enter Skip Mode
where you can switch ports as follows:
Once you are in Skip Mode, you can keep on skipping by pressing the
Arrow keys. You don't have to use the [Num Lock] + [-] combination
again.
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].
Hotkey Beeper Control
The Beeper (see Activate Beeper, page 27) can be Hotkey toggled On and Off.
To toggle the Beeper, key in the following Hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode with the [Num Lock] + [*] or [Num Lock] + [-]
combination.
2. Press [B]
After you press B, the Beeper toggles On or Off. The Command Line
displays Beeper On or Beeper Off for one second; then the message
disappears and you automatically exit Hotkey Mode.

(See Scan Mode, page 29, for information regarding accessible ports.)
