Aten CS1644A [29/54] Port switching

Chapter 4

Keyboard Port Operation

The CS1642A / CS1644A provides an extensive, easy-to-use, hotkey function

that makes it convenient to control and configure your KVM installation from

the keyboard. Hotkeys provide asynchronous (independent) switching of the

KVM, USB hub and audio focus. If you wish, you can give one computer the

KVM console focus, another the USB hub focus and the other two the audio

focus.

Port Switching

All port switches begin with tapping the Scroll Lock key twice. The tables

below describe the actions that each combination performs.

Note: If using the Scroll Lock key conflicts with other programs running on

the computer, the Ctrl key can be used, instead. See Alternate Port

Switching Keys, page 25, for details.
