Chapter 5. Keyboard Port Operation

Skip Mode
This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them
manually. You can dwell on a particular port for as long as you like – as
opposed to auto-scanning, which automatically switches after a fixed interval.
To invoke Skip mode, key in the following hotkey combination:
1. Invoke hotkey mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12]
combination.
2. Key in [Arrow]
Where [Arrow] refers to one of the arrow keys. After you press an
arrow, you automatically exit hotkey mode and enter Skip mode where
you can switch ports as follows:
Once you are in Skip mode, you can keep on skipping by pressing the
arrow keys. You don't have to use the [Num Lock] + [-] combination
again.
While Skip mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions
are suspended – only Skip mode compliant keystrokes can be input.
You must exit Skip mode in order to regain normal control of the
console.
3. To exit Skip mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
