Hotkey Commands
Hotkey commands are keystroke sequences that initiate computer/device functions
and can be used to initiate KVM Switch functions. A hotkey command sequence must
be initiated by the HK_LCode (HotKey Leading Code), followed by 1-2 additional
keystrokes. Successful hotkey command inputs result in a high-pitch beep. Unsuccessful
hotkey command inputs result in a low-pitched beep.
Notes:
- All keystroke combinations must be entered in rapid succession.
- Press and release the indicated keys, unless otherwise specied.
- Numbers entered during the hotkey sequence cannot be entered using a number pad
