Selecting a Computer
To select a computer by hot-key command you need to know the device’s channel
address, which is determined by the KVM connection. For a computer connected to
the switch, the address is represented by the PC port number (1~4). For example, to
access the PC plugged into port 4 of the Master KVM switch, type:
left + left + <4>
Auto Scan
Auto Scan automatically scans through powered computers at a fixed interval:
left + left +
When Auto Scan detects any keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends the scanning
until activity stops; it then resumes with the next computer in sequence. The length
of the Auto Scan interval (Scan Rate) is adjustable (see Scan Rate on the following
page). To abort the Auto Scan mode, press the left key twice.
Manual Scan
Manual Scan enables you to manually switch back and forth between powered
computers:
left + left +
Press the up or down arrow to select the previous or next computer in sequence.
Press any other key to abort the Manual Scan.
NOTE: The Scan Type setting will determine whether computers must be eye-
marked to be included in the scan.
Scan Rate
Scan Rate sets the duration between switching to the next computer in Auto Scan
mode:
left + left +
The unit switches between scan intervals of 3, 8, 15 and 30 seconds.
Changing Your Configuration
After the initial power up, any device (either a KVM or a PC) can be added or removed
from any PC x port on the KVM without having to power down the Master KVM Switch.
Make sure that devices are turned off before connecting them to the Master KVM
switch. Note: After changing your configuration, the OSD will automatically update to
reflect the new configuration.
