Tradeswitch function (optional)
The Tradeswitch function optimises the operation of user modules, which monitor
several computers over several monitors.
Instead of connecting keyboard and mouse to every monitor, the Tradeswitch func-
tion provides a central keyboard/mouse for all operating tasks of the user console.
In order to enable this, several modules of a KVM matrix system are arranged into
groups. Each user module within a group is provided with a monitor, but only one
of the group’s user modules is provided with keyboard and mouse.
By using a hotkey, you can switch the two input devices to any monitor and each
computer of the group can be operated.
Switching keyboard and mouse signals
The switching of the keyboard and mouse signals from a user module to another
user module or a target computer is carried out by entering one of the configurable
key combinations.
How to switch the keyboard and mouse signals:
1. Press the Tradeswitch key modifier adjusted in the KVM matrix system and the
Tradeswitch key assigned to the target module.
