Hotkey Operation
Hotkey Setting Mode
All hotkey operations begin with tapping the Scroll Lock key twice. This invokes the Hotkey
Setting Mode (HSM), which can be followed by tapping key combinations and the [Enter] key
to perform various operations.
The table below describes the actions that each combination performs.
Note: If using the Scroll Lock key conflicts with other programs running on the computer, the
Ctrl key can be used instead. See Alternate Hotkey Setting Mode on page 12 for details.
The GCS1002 / GCS1004 provide an extensive, easy-to-use, hotkey function that makes it
convenient to control and configure your KVM installation from the keyboard.
