Instruction Manual

NOTE: It is unnecessary to switch the Sun mark ON or OFF if an authentic Sun

keyboard is being used on the console. In other words, you must ensure that the Sun-

marked port has not been selected if you are already using a Sun keyboard.

With dierent types of keyboard and computer, the Sun Mark must be set up in

compliance with the following instruction:

Keyboard Type Computer Type Sun Mark

USB (non-Sun) PC/Mac No

USB (non-Sun) Sun Yes

USB (Sun keyboard) PC/Mac No

USB (Sun keyboard) Sun Yes

ESC: To exit the OSD, press the <ESCAPE> key

Hot-key commands

A Hot-key command is a short keyboard sequence used to select a computer, to

activate computer scan, etc. The Console constantly interprets keystrokes for hot-keys.

A hot-key sequence starts with two left <CTRL> keystrokes followed by one or two

more keystrokes. A built-in alarm generates a high-pitch beep for correct hot-key

command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep for error and the bad key sequence will not

be forwarded to the selected computer.

The short form hot-key menu can be turned on as an OSD function (<F4>: more\

Hotkey Menu) every time the left <CTRL> key is pressed twice.

CTRL: is the <CTRL> key located at the left side of the keyboard.

1~8/A~H: are the number keys ‘1’ ~ ‘8’ at the upper row of the keyboard and character

keys ‘A’ ~ ‘H’ case insensitive. Do not use the keypad at the right of the keyboard.

To select a computer by hot-key command, you must know its port number, which is

determined by the KVM Module connection. For a computer connected to a Master,

its port is represented by the PC port label (1~8 or A~H). For a computer connected to

a Slave, two characters represent its port. The rst character is the port number of the

Master unit (1~8) and the second one is the port number of the Slave (1~8 or A~H).

Please note that only Master’s ‘PC 1’ ~’PC 8’ ports can be connected to a Slave.

Left <CTRL> + left <CTRL> + <7>

Selects a computer connected to port 7 of the Master.
