Chapter 5. Hotkey Operation
53
Computer Keyboard / Mouse Reset
If either the keyboard or mouse stop functioning on the computer connected to
the currently selected port, you can perform a keyboard / mouse reset on the
computer by executing the following steps:
1. Enter the Hotkey mode with the:
[Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.
2. Press [F5].
After you press [F5] you automatically exit Hotkey mode and regain
keyboard and mouse control on the computer connected to the KVM port.
If you fail to regain keyboard / mouse control on the computer after
pressing [F5], perform a system reset. For more information see Lock
LEDs & Reset Switch, page 8.
This function is essentially the same as unplugging and replugging the
keyboard and mouse on the target computer.
Setting the Hotkey Beeper ON/OFF
The beeper (see Activate Beeper, page 39) can be turned on and off with
Hotkeys by the following steps:
1. Enter the Hotkey mode with the:
[Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.
2. Press [B].
After you press
[B], the beeper turns on or off. The command line displays
Beeper On or Beeper Off for one second; then the message disappears and you
automatically exit Hotkey mode.
