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