Installation and Operations Manual 7
System Operation
Operating the system can be done by using the PC push buttons or by
hotkey commands from the RackView Switch keyboard.
The USB and audio features of the switch can be jointly switched when you
switch computer ports or can be switched independently. Using hotkey
commands, you can bind the audio and/or USB to the video or un-bind them
and switch the audio and USB functions separately.
(See Table 2 for Hotkey and push-button functions)
CPU push buttons
PC port selection using the
convenient push buttons is the
easiest method of selecting a
computer. Buttons 1-8 switch
the RackView’s keyboard,
monitor, and mouse to that
selected PC port. If binding is
enabled, the audio and USB hub
are also switched.
HotKey switching
Hotkey switching and control should only be performed using the RackView
Switch keyboard. The local console keyboard should not be used for
entering Hotkey commands.
A hotkey keyboard command consists of three specific keystrokes:
1 2 3
HOTKEY = [ScrLk]* + [ScrLk]* + Command (Default)
(*Press and release the ScrLk key twice)
* The hotkey can be modified to use the following user-defined keys:

Scroll Lock

Caps Lock

Esc

F12

Num Lock
To modify the hotkey enter [ScrLk] + [ScrLk] + H + K
where K = the Scroll Lock, Caps Lock, ESC, F12 or Num Lock key.
