Operating Your KVM Switch
To toggle between computers, you can use the hot-key commands, OSD (On-Screen Display)
menu or by using the push buttons built into the 1UCABCONS series LCD Rack Console.
Push Buttons
A solid red indicator reflects the port selected. The indicator flashes red when in Auto
or Manual Scan mode. You can press any of the corresponding push buttons to select
the active computer. On the 16 port models, Port 1 and Port A share the same push
button, as do Port 2 and Port B, etc. To select Ports 1 through 8, press the push button
once. To select Ports A through H, press and hold the push button for two seconds.
Alternatively, if Port 1 is currently selected and you want to select Port A, you can press
the push button once to switch to Port A.
The K/M Reset function reconfigures your system without powering down your
computers or your KVM switch. To reset the switch, press and hold the front-panel 1
and 2 buttons simultaneously.
The Auto-Scan function automatically scrolls through your connected computers. Press
and hold the front panel 7 and 8 buttons simultaneously to enter Auto Scan mode.
OSD Operations
A computer may be selected by issuing hot-key commands or by activating the OSD
window. The Auto-Scan function automatically scrolls through your connected computers.
By hitting the left key twice within two seconds, you may see the Hotkey
Menu (if it is enabled as an OSD option). Or, by hitting the left key three times
within two seconds, you will see a KVM MENU screen (below) showing a list of the
computers with corresponding channel addresses, names and status.
The port number of the currently selected computer is displayed in red, at the right
corner of the OSD menu.
The color of a device name is green if it has power and is ready for operation, or the
color is white if it has no power. The OSD menu updates the color when it is activated.
