Aten CM0264 [25/74] Manual switching

Chapter 3. Basic Operation

Manual Switching

The Mode selection pushbutton and the pushbuttons that correspond to each

port have three icons – KVM, audio, and USB. The icons on the Mode

pushbutton light up when the Mode pushbutton is pressed to indicate cycling

through the corresponding KVM, audio, and USB modes.

The icons on the port selection pushbuttons light up to indicate the current

status of the computer that corresponds to that port. For example, if the audio

icon is lit up above the port 3 selection pushbutton, this indicates that the

computer attached to port 3 currently has the audio focus.

The CM0264 can be operated using one DVI Single Link console display or

one DVI Single Link display and one HD audio/video console display. Manual

switching differs slightly for each setup. For example, when using a single

display console, there is a single KVM focus; when using a dual display

console, there is one KVM focus (KVM1) and one further video focus (V2).

See the following sections for details.
