Operation
There are two convenient methods to switch the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus
among the ports: Manual - which involves pressing the push button port selection
switches located on the unit’s front panel; and Hotkey - which involves entering
combinations from the keyboard.
Manual Port Switching
Press and release a switch (for less than three seconds) to bring only the KVM focus to
the computer attached to its corresponding port.
Press a switch for longer than three seconds to bring the KVM, USB hub, and audio
focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port.
Press switches 1 and 2 simultaneously for 2 seconds to start Auto Scan Mode.
Hotkey Port Switching
All hotkey commands begin with tapping the Scroll Lock key twice. The tables on the
following pages describe the actions that each combination performs.
Please Note: If using the Scroll Lock key conflicts with other programs running on the
computer, the [Ctrl] key can be used, instead. See Alternate Port Switching Keys.
