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 keystrokes (successively within 0.2

seconds) followed by one or two more keystrokes. A built-in tone generator creates a high-pitch

beep for correct hotkey command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep is generated for errors and the

bad key sequence will not be forwarded to the selected computer.
NOTE: Press and hold Left and press twice, then release followed

by pressing left once, which will enable / disable the hotkey feature.
To select a computer:

Left + Left + <1>

(Example: Selects the computer at port 1.)

Left + Left + <2>

(Example: Selects the computer at port 2.)

NOTE: Do not use the keypad on the right-side of the keyboard.
