Cascade Configuration
Connection
Before connecting a device (a computer or any other SV431H) to the master under power, you
must turn off the devices. Only the PS/2 ports are operable for cascade operation.
Computer Selection by Hot Key Command
The first digit is the port address of the Master unit (1~4) and the second digit is the port address
of the Slave (1~4). Please note that only the Master’s PS/2 ports can be connected to a Slaves
Console port.
Left Ctrl + Left Ctrl + 1 + 3
Selects a computer connected to PS/2 port 3 of a Slave connected to PS/2 port 1 of the Master.
Change Leading Hot Key
The default leading hotkey sequence involves pressing the left Ctrl twice in succession
(e.g. Left Ctrl>, Left Ctrl). This can be changed to the right Ctrl key instead, to avoid accidental
activation due to using the left Ctrl key for functions such as Copy/Paste.
To change the leading hotkey sequence to Right Ctrl :
Left Ctrl + Left Ctrl + hold Alt + press Right Ctrl
All hotkey commands that previously required pressing the Left Ctrl will be switched to requiring
the right Ctrl instead.
To change the leading hotkey sequence back to Left Ctrl:
Right Ctrl + Right Ctrl + hold Alt + press Left Ctrl
