Basic Operation

Port Switching

There are four methods to switch between the computers: Manual – by pressing

the port selection pushbuttons on the front panel; Mouse – by double-clicking

the scroll wheel; Hotkey – by entering key combinations on the keyboard; and

RS-232 Commnads – by entering the correct command and control.

Manual Switching

For manual port selection:

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

the USB and 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 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 port selection pushbutton 1 and 2 for more than 2 seconds

to start Auto Scan Mode (see page 26 for details).

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

of the switch you pressed.

cycle through the ports.
