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.
