Alternate HSM Invocation Keys

An alternate set of HSM invocation keys is provided in case the default set conflicts

with programs running on the computers. To switch to the alternate HSM invocation

set, do the following:
1. Invoke HSM (see “Invoking Hotkey Setting Mode”).
2. Press and release the [H] key
The HSM invocation keys become the [Ctrl] key and [F12] (instead of [Num Lock] and

minus [-] ).
Please Note: This procedure is a toggle between the two methods. To revert back

to the original HSM invocation keys, invoke HSM, then press and release the [H] key

again.

Alternate Port Switching Keys

The port switching activation keys can be changed from tapping the Scroll Lock key

twice ([Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock]) to tapping the Ctrl key twice. To change the port

switching activation keys, do the following:
1. Invoke HSM (see “Invoking Hotkey Setting Mode”).
2. Press and release the [T] key
Please Note: This procedure is a toggle between the two methods. To revert back to

the original [Scroll Lock], [Scroll Lock] method, invoke HSM, then press and release the

[T] key again.

Keyboard Operating Platform

The KVM Switch’s default port configuration is for a PC Compatible keyboard operating

platform. If your requirements call for different port settings (you have a Mac or

Sun attached to a port, e.g.), you can change a port’s keyboard operating platform

configuration as follows:
1. Bring the KVM focus to the port you want to set.
2. Invoke HSM (see “Invoking Hotkey Setting Mode”).
3. Press and release the appropriate Function key (see table below). After completing

a setting, you automatically exit HSM.
