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 or as little 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 (see page 45).
2. Key in [Arrow]
Where [Arrow] refers to one of the Arrow keys. After you press
[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 [NumLock] + [-] 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.
To exit Skip Mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
