NOTE: It is unnecessary to switch the Sun mark ON or OFF if an authentic Sun
keyboard is being used on the console. In other words, you must ensure that the Sun-
marked port has not been selected if you are already using a Sun keyboard.
With different types of keyboard and computer, the Sun Mark must be set up in
compliance with the following instruction:
Keyboard Type Computer Type Sun Mark
USB (non-Sun) PC/Mac No
USB (non-Sun) Sun Yes
USB (Sun keyboard) PC/Mac No
USB (Sun keyboard) Sun Yes

Hot-key commands
A Hot-key command is a short keyboard sequence used to select a computer, to
activate computer scan, etc. The Console constantly interprets keystrokes for hot-keys.
A hot-key sequence starts with two left keystrokes followed by one or two
more keystrokes. A built-in alarm generates a high-pitch beep for correct hot-key
command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep for error and the bad key sequence will not
be forwarded to the selected computer.
The short form hot-key menu can be turned on as an OSD function (: more\
Hotkey Menu) every time the left key is pressed twice.
CTRL: is the key located at the left side of the keyboard.
1~8/A~H: are the number keys ‘1’ ~ ‘8’ at the upper row of the keyboard and character
keys ‘A’ ~ ‘H’ case insensitive. Do not use the keypad at the right of the keyboard.
To select a computer by hot-key command, you must know its port number, which is
determined by the KVM Module connection. For a computer connected to a Master,
its port is represented by the PC port label (1~8 or A~H). For a computer connected to
a Slave, two characters represent its port. The first character is the port number of the
Master unit (1~8) and the second one is the port number of the Slave (1~8 or A~H).
Please note that only Master’s ‘PC 1’ ~’PC 8’ ports can be connected to a Slave.
Left + left + <7>
