KVM Port Shortcut Hot Keys
The default KVM port shortcut hot keys are described in the following table. These keys are always available for users connected to the OSD through a Local User station, but they are not always available with the AlterPath Viewer. See Show Connections Dialog Availability in OnSite Hardware Versions for information about when they are available in the AlterPath Viewer.
A plus (+) between two keys indicates that both keys must be pressed at once. When two keys are separated by a space, each key must be pressed separately. For example, Ctrl+k p means to press the Ctrl and k keys together followed by the p key.
Quit. When you are connected to a server through a KVM port and you enter this hot key, the Connection Menu screen appears and you can select another port.
See To Return to Previous Menus or to Exit. for details about the Connection Menu, see Connection Menu.
Power management. Brings up the Power Management screen with the options to turn on, off, or cycle the power for outlets to which the current server is connected.
“Automatic control” lets you set an adjustment value to compensate for the length of the cable running from the OnSite to the KVM terminator that is connected to the server. “Manual control” lets you manually adjust screen brightness and contrast. See To Adjust Brightness and Cable Length in the AlterPath Viewer.
The OnSite administrator may redefine the KVM port connection hot keys, as described in Configuring Keyboard Shortcuts (Hot Keys). If the defaults shown in the previous table do not work, check with your OnSite administrator for the site-specified keys to use.
Note: You can use the escape (Esc) key to exit from a screen or viewer.
