- as opposed to Auto Scanning, which automatically switches after a fixed interval. To invoke Skip Mode, key in the following Hotkey combination:

2. Key in [Arrow]

Š 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:

←

Skips from the current port to the first accessible port previous to it.

(See SCAN/SKIP MODE, page 27, for information regarding

accessible ports.)

→ Skips from the current port to the next accessible port.

↑

↓

Skips from the current port to the last accessible port of the previous

Station.

Skips from the current port to the first accessible port of the next

Station.

Š 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.

Š 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.

3. To exit Skip Mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar].
