USING YOUR SWITCH

Selecting a Computer Using Keyboard Hot Key Commands

To send commands to the Switch, the Scroll Lock (SL) key must be pressed twice within about half a second (you will hear a beep for confirmation); then, input the key sequence for the specific command (you will have approximately three seconds after the beep to complete each hot key sequence). The hot key commands are listed below:

Note: Other keys can be used to enter commands for keyboards without Scroll Lock keys. For example, CTRL is the preferred method for Macintosh® computers, which often map other functions to the Scroll Lock key. These settings can be changed in the Options page of the OSD.

For hot keys (e.g. up and down arrows) and AutoScan, the order of progression from one computer to the next is dictated by the order of the computers in the list box, in the Main View of the OSD.
