Modular KVM Switch for
LCD Console Use
4. Hotkey
You	can	also	conveniently	command	the	KVM	switch	by	switching	ports	through	simple	key	sequences.	The	default	hot	key	is	SCROLL	
LOCK and the user can change the hot key at their convenience by accessing the OSD menu and changing the default hot key. 
To	send	commands	to	the	KVM	switch,	the	SCROLL	LOCK	key	must	be	pressed	twice	within	2	seconds.	You	will	hear	a	beep	for	con-
firmation	and	the	keyboard	will	switch	to	Hotkey	mode.	Then	enter	a	command	in	2	seconds.	If	during	Hotkey	mode	no	key	has	been	
pressed	in	over	2	seconds	the	Hotkey	mode	will	be	aborted	and	return	to	Operation	System	control	state.
A Command should be issued in Hotkey mode in 2 seconds.
