Click the column heading by which you want to sort. The list of KVM
target servers is sorted by that column.

Hot Keys and Connect Keys

Because the KX II Local Console interface is completely replaced by the
interface for the target server you are accessing, a hot key is used to
disconnect from a target and return to the local port GUI. A connect key
is used to connect to a target or switch between targets.

The Local Port hot key allows you to rapidly access the KX II Local
Console user interface when a target server is currently being viewed.
The default is to press the Scroll Lock key twice in rapid succession, but
you can designate another key combination (available in the Local Port
Settings page) as the hot key. See KX II Local Console Local Port
Settings for more information.
