Using the SV565UTP 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 performs two functions: it allows a user at the Remote Unit to assume
control of the computer on the Host Unit (Computer A), and it also permits the user
at the Host Unit to use Computer A. It 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 Host and Remote 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 Unit can access Computer A).
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
Computer A. 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:
Auto Local Remote
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.
