IOGear GCS182 - Manual (Page 16)

Controlling the PCs in your MiniView TM configuration from a
single console couldn’t be easier. Two port selection methods
provide instant access to any attached PC:
· Manual Port Selection
· Hot Key Port Selection
Note: When powering-on, the MiniView TM switches to port A by
default. If the PC attached to port A is inactive, the monitor will be
blank so it may appear as if the unit is not functioning. This is not the
case. Simply use one of the port selection methods described below
to switch to the active PC on a different port.
Manual Port Selection
With manual port selection, you simply press the Port Selection
button on the side panel of the MiniView
TM to switch between
computers. The selected LED on the top panel will light up to indicate
which port is active.
Hot Key Port Selection
Hot Key navigation allows you to select the active PC directly
from the keyboard, instead of having to manually select it by
pressing the Port Selection button. The
MiniView
TM provides two Hot Key navigation features:
¨ Active port selection
¨ Auto Scan Mode
Selecting the Active Port:
Press and release the Left Ctrl or Right Ctrl key twice.
Note:
The combination must be on the same side of the keyboard
(Left Ctrl + Left Ctrl or Right Ctrl + Right Ctrl)
Auto Scan Mode:
