drivers that are already installed on any operating system that fully supports USB.
Operation

Auto Scan
The KVM automatically scans through the powered-on computers in sequence on
a fixed time interval (see Scan Time below). To activate Auto Scan, press down front
panel push buttons “3” and “4” simultaneously. The port LED flashes during Auto Scan.
Auto Scan is effective for powered-on computers only. To exit the Auto Scan mode, just
tap any one of the push buttons. (4 port model only)
NOTE: When Auto Scan detects any keyboard activity, it suspends the scanning until
the activity stops; it then resumes with the next computer in sequence. The length of
the Auto Scan interval (Scan Rate) is adjustable, see below.
Scan Time
Four options are available for users to set the Scan Time duration, which includes 3, 8,
15 and 30 seconds.
To change the Scan Time interval, press both front panel buttons “1” and “2”
simultaneously. The unit beeps 1, 2, 3 or 4 times for Scan Time of 3, 8, 15 or 30 seconds
respectively. (4 port model only)
NOTE: Scan Time is automatically set to the default of 3 seconds when the units loses power.
