Keyboard Port Operation
The CS1642 / CS1644 provides an extensive, easy-to-use, hotkey function that
makes it convenient to control and configure your KVM installation from the
keyboard. Hotkeys provide asynchronous (independent) switching of the
KVM, USB hub and audio focus. If you wish, you can give one computer the
KVM console focus, another the USB hub focus and the other two the audio
focus.
Port Switching
All port switches begin with tapping the Scroll Lock key twice. The tables
below describe the actions that each combination performs.
Note: If using the Scroll Lock key conflicts with other programs running on
the computer, the Ctrl key can be used, instead. See Alternate Port
Switching Keys, page 19, for details.
