Aten CM0264 [37/74] Hotkey setting mode

Chapter 4. Keyboard Port Operation

Hotkey Setting Mode

Hotkey Setting Mode is used to set up your CM0264 switch configuration. All

operations begin with invoking Hotkey Setting Mode (HSM).

Invoking HSM

To invoke HSM do the following:

1. Press and hold down [Num Lock].

2. Press and release [-].

3. Release [Num Lock].

Note: There is an alternate key combination to invoke HSM. See below.

When HSM is active, the Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession

to indicate that HSM is in effect. They stop flashing and revert to normal status

when you exit HSM.

Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only Hotkey

compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that follow),

can be input.

At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically exit hotkey

mode. With some operations, you must exit manually. To exit HSM manually,

press the Esc key, or the Spacebar.

Alternate HSM Invocation Keys

An alternate set of HSM invocation keys is provided in case the default set

conflicts with programs running on the computers.

To switch to the alternate HSM invocation set, do the following:

1. Invoke HSM (see page 27).

2. Press and release [H].

The HSM invocation keys become the Ctrl key (instead of Num Lock) and

the F12 key (instead of minus).

This procedure is a toggle between the two methods. To revert back to the

original HSM invocation keys, invoke HSM, then press and release the H key

again.
