Hotkey Control
A Hotkey command is a short keyboard sequence for selecting a computer, activating
computer scan, etc. A hotkey sequence starts with two left (Scroll Lock)
keystrokes (successively within 2 seconds) followed by one or two more keystrokes.
A built-in tone generator creates a high-pitch beep for correct hotkey command;
otherwise, errors and bad key sequences will not be forwarded to the currently
selected computer.
The two proceeding keystrokes can be changed if desired. Press + +
, which will be followed by two beeps indicating readiness for selection of a new
preceding sequence, or press and hold down the last front-panel button (Button 2 on
SV231DDUSB, Button 4 on SV431DDUSB) until you hear two beeps, then release the
button.
Select and press the key you would like to use as your preceding sequence (Scroll Lock,
Caps Lock, ESC, F12 or Num Lock) and you’ll hear a beep for confirmation. The new
preceding sequence can now be used to execute hotkey commands.
