Chapter 5. Hotkey Operation

Computer Keyboard / Mouse Reset
If either the keyboard or mouse stop functioning on the computer connected to
the currently selected port, you can perform a keyboard / mouse reset on the
computer by executing the following steps:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode:
[Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12]
2. Press [F5].
After you press [F5] you automatically exit Hotkey mode and regain
keyboard and mouse control on the computer connected to the KVM port.
If you fail to regain keyboard / mouse control on the computer after
pressing [F5], perform a system reset. For more information see Reset
Switch, page 7.
This function is essentially the same as unplugging and replugging the
keyboard and mouse on the target computer.
Setting the Hotkey Beeper ON/OFF
The beeper (see Activate Beeper, page 29) can be turned on and off with
Hotkeys by the following steps:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode:
[Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12]
2. Press [B].
After you press
[B], the beeper turns 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.
