Aten CM0264 [31/74] Keyboard port operation

Chapter 4

Keyboard Port Operation

The CM0264 provides an extensive, easy-to-use hotkey function that makes it

convenient to control and configure your KVM installation from the keyboard.

Hotkeys provide independent switching of the KVM, USB hub and audio

focus. You can give one computer the KVM console focus, another the USB

hub focus, and the other two the audio focus, for example.

Port Switching

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

the following pages describe the actions that each combination performs, in

both single and dual console display configurations. The CM0264 can be

operated using one or two console displays. Port switching differs slightly for

each setup. See the following sections for details.

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

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

Invocation Keys, page 27, for details.
