Boundless Switching Configuration

Utility

Boundless Switching

Boundless Switching allows the CS724KM to switch computers by sliding the

mouse cursor across the screen borders. Just move the mouse cursor over the

screen border of one computer to access the desktop of another.

The mouse cursor can be moved up, down, left, right, or diagonal – off one

screen and onto another to switch keyboard/mouse control to the adjacent

computer. The audio and USB hub focus is also switched to the new computer.

The Boundless Switching Configuration Utility is a GUI-based application that

provides management of the physical layout of displays. The utility tells the

CS724KM where the monitors are located in your setup so that it can switch to

the correct computer when the mouse cursor moves off one screen and onto

another.

Before using Boundless Switching you must first configure the screen size of

each display. You can configure the screen size via hotkey (see Screen Size,

page 29), or via the Boundless Switching Configuration Utility (see

Resolution, page 49).

You must disable mouse acceleration in the Windows Control Panel for

Boundless Switching to work. A boundless switching focus appears on a

computer that it currently has the focus, to indicate which computer the user is

working on. The boundless switching focus can be disabled and adjusted via

hotkey, and Boundless Switching Configuration Utility. For more information,

see page 34 for hotkey, page 48, and page 55 for Boundless Switching

Configuration Utility.
