Hotkey Setup

Various configuration actions related to the keyboard, video, and mouse can be performed via hotkey combinations. The Hotkey setup utility is accessed by clicking the Keyboard icon on the Control Panel. The actions performed by the

Hotkeys are listed in the left panel; the currently defined keys that invoke the actions are shown in the panel to the right.

If you find the default Hotkey combinations inconvenient, you can reconfigure them by following these five steps:

1. Highlight the Action, and then Click Start.

2. Key in the Function keys (one at a time). The key names appear in the Key field as you press them.

3. When you have finished keying in your sequence, Click Stop.

4. Click Set. Repeat for any other actions for which you wish to re-assign

Hotkeys.

5. Click Close.

Note: You can use the same function keys for more than one action, as long

as the first key is not the same. For example, you can use F1 F2 F3 for one action; F2 F1 F3 for another; F3 F2 F1 for a third, etc.

KH1508i / KH1516i User Manual

(Continued from previous page.)

An explanation of the Hotkey actions is given in the table below:

Action

Exit remote location

Adjust Video

Toggle OSD

Substitute Alt key

Substitute Ctrl key

Explanation

Breaks the connection to the KH1508i / KH1516i and returns you to local operation.

Brings up the video adjustment utility.

Toggles the OSD display Off and On.

Toggle mouse display If you find the display of the two mouse pointers (local and remote) to be confusing or annoying, you can use this function to shrink the non-functioning pointer down to a barely-noticeable tiny circle - which can be ignored. Since this function is a toggle - use the hotkeys again to bring the mouse display back to its original configuration.

Adjust mouse This utility synchronizes the local and remote mouse movements following a video resolution change. After invoking this utility, simply click the local mouse pointer on top of the remote mouse pointer.

Although all other keyboard input is captured and sent to the

KH1508i / KH1516i, [Alt + Tab] and [Ctrl + Alt + Del] work on your local computer. In order to implement their effects on the remote system, another key may be substituted for the Alt key. If you substitute the F12 key, for example, you would use

[F12 + Tab] and [Ctrl + F12 + Del].

If your local computer captures Ctrl key combinations, preventing them from being sent to the remote system, you can implement their effects on the remote system by specifying a function key to substitute for the Ctrl key. If you substitute the F11 key, for example, pressing [F11 + 5] would appear to the remote system as [Ctrl + 5].

Note: To invoke an action, you must press and release the keys one key at a time.
