Ctrl+Alt+Del Macro
Due to its frequent use, a Ctrl+Alt+Delete macro, used to reboot the
target computer, has been preprogrammed. Clicking on the
Ctrl+Alt+Delete button
in the toolbar sends this key sequence to the
server or to the KVM switch to which you are currently connected.
In contrast, if you were to physically press the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys, the
command would first be intercepted by your own PC due to the structure
of the Windows operating system, instead of sending the key sequence
to the target server as intended.

The following common hot key combinations are not sent to the target
system:
