Basic Operation

Manual Switching

There are three convenient methods to switch between the computers: Manual

– by pressing the port selection pushbuttons on the front panel, Mouse – by

clicking the scroll wheel of the mouse, and Hotkey – by entering combinations

on the keyboard.

Manual Switching

For manual port selection:

 Press and release a port selection pushbutton to bring the KVM focus to

the computer attached to its corresponding port. The USB and Audio focus

does not change – they stay with the port that they are already on.

 Press a port selection pushbutton twice to bring the audio focus to the

computer attached to its corresponding port.

 Press and hold a port selection pushbutton for more than 2 seconds to

bring the KVM focus, plus the USB and Audio focus, to the computer

attached to its corresponding port.

 Press and hold port selection pushbutton 1 and 2 for more than 2 seconds

to start Auto Scan Mode (see page 19 for details).

 Press and release either port selection pushbutton to stop Auto Scan Mode.

The KVM focus goes to the computer attached to the corresponding port

of the switch you pressed.

Mouse Switching

For mouse port selection: Double-click the scroll wheel of your USB mouse to

cycle through the ports.

Note: 1. Mouse switching is only supported by USB 3-key scroll wheel

mice.

2. Mouse switching is disabled by default. See Hotkey Setting Mode,

page 20, to enable mouse switching.

3. Mouse switching is only supported when Mouse Emulation is

enabled.
