Using the Console
Now that you have connected your servers to the Console, it is ready for use. Select
connected servers by either using the On-Screen Display (OSD) or by using hot-key
commands through the keyboard. It takes approximately 1–2 seconds for the video
signal to refresh after switching servers.
Re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signals also occurs. This is normal
operation and ensures that proper synchronization is established between the
console and the connected servers.
Selecting a Server or BANK Using Hot-Key Commands
Switch to the next or previous port with simple keyboard hot-key sequences using
the "Scroll Lock" key and either the up or down arrow keys. To send commands to
the Console, the "Scroll Lock" key must be pressed twice within two seconds. The
Console will beep, confirming that it is in hot-key mode. Next, press the down key
and the Console will switch to the next port. Press the arrow key to switch to the
previous port.
Switch to previous active port
With a single-switch configuration (no daisy-chained KVM switches), you can
switch directly to any port by entering the 2-digit number of the port you wish to
access. For example, if you press "Scroll Lock", "Scroll Lock", "02", the Console
will switch to the server on port 02 located on BANK 00.
Switch to BANK 00, Port 2 (02)
