Instruction Manual 6
Hot Key Commands
Hot Key commands are short keyboard sequences used to select a computer, to activate
computer scan, etc. The SV431H interprets keyboard strokes for Hot Keys all the time. A Hot Key
sequence starts with 2 left Ctrl keystrokes followed by 1 or 2 more key strokes. A built-in buzzer
generates a high-pitch beep for correct hot key commands; otherwise, one low-pitch beep for an
error and the bad key sequence will not be forwarded to the selected computer.
L-Ctrl: is the Ctrl key located at the left side of the keyboard.
1~4: are the numbers 1 ~ 4 at the upper row of the keyboard.
Do not use the keypad at the right of the keyboard.
• To select a computer by hot key command, you must know its port address, which is
determined by the SV431H connection at the back.
Left Ctrl + Left Ctrl + 4
Selects a computer connected to the PC port 4.
• To start Auto Scan, which will automatically scan power-on computers one by one at a xed
interval:
Left Ctrl + Left Ctrl + F1
When Auto Scan detects any keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends the scanning until activity
stops; it then resumes with the next computer in sequence. The length of the Auto Scan interval
(Scan Rate) is adjustable. To abort the Auto Scan mode, press the left Ctrl key twice.
• Manual Scan enables you to manually switch back and forth between power-on computers.
Left Ctrl + Left Ctrl + F2
Press á or â to select the previous or the next computer in sequence. Press any other key to
abort the Manual Scan.
• To adjust the Scan Rate which sets the duration before switching to the next computer in
Auto Scan:
Left Ctrl + Left Ctrl + F3
The SV431H sends one to four beeps indicating scan intervals of 3, 8, 15 and 30 seconds
respectively.
• To adjust keyboard typematic rate (characters/sec), this setting over-rides that of the BIOS
and any operating system:
Left Ctrl + Left Ctrl + F4
The Sv431H generates 1 to 4 beeps corresponding to 10, 15, 20 and 30 characters/sec
respectively.
Instruction Manual 7
Cascade Conguration
Connection
Before connecting a device (a computer or any other SV431H) to the master under power, you
must turn o the devices. Only the PS/2 ports are operable for cascade operation.
Computer Selection by Hot Key Command
The rst digit is the port address of the Master unit (1~4) and the second digit is the port address
of the Slave (1~4). Please note that only the Master’s PS/2 ports can be connected to a Slaves
Console port.
Left Ctrl + Left Ctrl + 1 + 3
Selects a computer connected to PS/2 port 3 of a Slave connected to PS/2 port 1 of the Master.
Change Leading Hot Key
The default leading hotkey sequence involves pressing the left Ctrl twice in succession
(e.g. Left Ctrl>, Left Ctrl). This can be changed to the right Ctrl key instead, to avoid accidental
activation due to using the left Ctrl key for functions such as Copy/Paste.
To change the leading hotkey sequence to Right Ctrl :
Left Ctrl + Left Ctrl + hold Alt + press Right Ctrl
All hotkey commands that previously required pressing the Left Ctrl will be switched to requiring
the right Ctrl instead.
