Naming Your Computers

The Switch software will allow you use up to eight characters when naming your computers. In order to rename your computers, click “Edit” located on the top left corner of the software window.

Manual Push-Button Selectors

Each device is assigned its own push-button selector; in order to switch the device, simply press the designated push-button selector of the USB device you wish to switch until the device is moved to the desired computer port. The computer-indicating LEDs will identify which computer has control of the device.
