For example, to select the computer attached to port 9, from Select mode, press the button for port 1, and hold it for one second before releasing it. The KVM Switch will beep and both the port 1 LED and shift LED will light.

The Console LED will be lit, indicating that this KVM Switch is a Console.

1.Press the BANK selection buttons to cycle through the available BANKs. The “BANK +” button will take you to the next available BANK, the “BANK –” button will take you to the previous available BANK. For example, when you are at BANK 02 and you want to check a server on BANK 01, pressing the “BANK –” button will take you to BANK 01. The change in BANK is immediately indicated by the 7-segment LEDs.

2.Press the direct-access port selectors to go to the desired server on BANK 01. When you release the button, the KVM Switch will beep and switch the focus to the selected port. If the user does not have permission to access the selected port, the KVM Switch will beep, switch focus away from the selected port, and the 7-segment LED will indicate “AF” (Access Failure).
