Using the KVM Extender
This section details how to use your KVM extender at both the local and
remote locations.
Using the Computer Unit
The Computer Unit allows users connected to the Computer and Console units to share
control of devices (computers, KVM Switches) connected to it.
The Computer Unit has three modes that control which user may access the Host
system (Computer A) at a given time: Auto (the KVM extender looks for keyboard or
mouse activity from both Local and Remote and automatically accepts input from
the active console), Local (only the user seated at the Computer Unit can access the
system), and Remote (only the user at the Console Unit can access the system).
You can use either keyboard shortcuts (if there is a keyboard and mouse attached) or
the mode switch on the front of the Computer Unit to control which user has access to
devices connected to the Computer Unit, by pressing the button in sequence.
By default, the Computer Unit operates in Auto mode, and switches to the next mode in
sequence each time the switch is pressed as follows:
Having a keyboard and mouse attached to the Console ports on the Computer Unit is
recommended, since it offers access to a number of extended features.
