Usage

Selecting which computer to operate can be done either by pressing the SELECT button, or through keyboard hot-key commands. You will notice that after the OmniCube™ switches to another computer, the mouse will be inoperative for about 1-2 seconds. This is normal operation and ensures that proper mouse synchronization is established.

Pressing the SELECT button cycles you through ports 1 - 4.

In AutoScan mode, the OmniCube™ remains on one port for 10 seconds before switching to the next. There is no mouse or keyboard control in this mode. This is necessary to prevent errors. Otherwise, if the user is moving the mouse or using the keyboard when the OmniCube™ switches to the next port, data flow is interrupted and will cause erratic mouse movement and/or the wrong characters to show up when using the keyboard.

To get out of AutoScan mode, hit the SPACEBAR.
