Basic Operation
Port Selection
KH1508 / KH1516 installations provide three methods to obtain instant access
to any computer in your installation: Manual, OSD, and Hotkey.
Manual
For manual port selection, simply press the Port Switch that corresponds to the
device you wish to access.
For the cascaded switches, first press the Port Switch on the parent unit that the
cascaded switch is connected to, then press the Port Switch on the cascaded
switch that corresponds to the device you wish to access.
OSD
OSD (On Screen Display), provides a menu driven interface to the computer
switching procedure. OSD operation is discussed in the next chapter.
Hotkey
Hotkeys allow you to conveniently provide KVM focus to a particular
computer from the keyboard, instead of having to manually select them by
pressing Port Selection switches. Hotkey operation is discussed in Chapter 5.
