Slim Palmtop USB KVM Switch - Operation Quick Reference
There are three methods to control your KVM Switch for
PC and Audio/Mic channel selection: using the face-
panel push button, the keyboard hotkey sequence, and
the KVM Switcher Software.
Face-panel button
The face-panel button allows you a direct control over KVM
switching operation. Simply press the button to switch to the
corresponding PC port (and audio/mic channel, if binding is
enabled). By default, PC port switching and audio/mic port
switching are bound together.
You can use the face-panel button to switch to an empty port that is
not connected with any computer. Normally, if you use keyboard hotkey
or the KVM Switcher software, you will not be able to switch to an empty
port.
Keyboard hotkey
User-definable hotkey for PC selection:
Hotkey Combination = Ctrl + Alt + [command key]*
* Please refer to Command Key section for keys that are
qualified to be used as a command key
Universal hotkey for PC toggle-switching:
Both the universal hotkey and the user-definable hotkey WILL
NOT
allow you to switch to an empty port that is not connected with any
computer. To force your KVM to switch to an empty port, just press the
face-panel button to switch.
Universal Hotkey sequence = ScrLk + ScrLk
For Windows systems, you can use this hotkey
sequence to facilitate PC switching. This special hotkey
sequence is not available for Mac and Linux. However, you can
use the face-panel button to do the switching.
Each keystroke within a hotkey sequence should be pressed within 2
seconds. Otherwise, the hotkey sequence will not be validated.
After perform port switching, you have to wait till the KVM Switch
icon shows forth the target port before you can perform next switching
again. The KVM Switcher icon could be found on the system tray of your
Windows desktop after its installation.
All the hotkeys are only functional after the system is booting
into the OS. If you want to switch PC in the BIOS POST stage,
press the face-panel button to perform switching.
KVM Switcher Software (only available for Windows platform)
In addition to PC switching, the KVM Switcher Software also
allows you more advanced functions such as described in the next
section….
