Tripp Lite B006-VUA4-K-R Mouse Port Switching Functionality, Hotkeys, Hotkey Setting Mode

Mouse Port Switching Functionality

When enabled, the Mouse Port Switching Functionality allows users with scroll mice to simultaneously switch the focus of the KVM, Audio and USB between ports by double- clicking the scroll wheel on their mouse. When used, ports will be accessed in sequential order (e.g. port 1 will switch to port 2; port 2 to port 3, and so on). As this function is disabled by default, you have to enable it in the OSD. To enable the Mouse Port Switching Functionality, follow the steps below:

1.Open the OSD menu by pressing the [Scroll Lock] key twice.

2.Press the [F6] key to access the OSD Settings screen.

3.Select the Mouse Switching Function option and press the [Enter] key.

4.When prompted to enter Yes or No, type in a [Y] and press the [Enter] key.

Hotkeys

Hotkeys allow you to switch functionality focus between ports using only the keyboard, as well as perform other functions on the KVM switch. The following section describes the hotkey functionality available for the B006-VUA4-K-R. At the end of this section is a table of all the available hotkeys.

Hotkey Setting Mode

All hotkey commands start by entering Hotkey Setting Mode. When in Hotkey Setting Mode, the [Scroll Lock] and [Caps Lock] keyboard LEDs flash in succession and ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended. Only hotkey related keystrokes can be per- formed. To initiate Hotkey Setting Mode, perform the following command:

1.Press and hold down the [Scroll Lock] key.

2.While holding down the [Scroll Lock] key, press and release the minus [-]key.

3.After releasing the minus [-]key, release the [Scroll Lock] key.

Alternate Hotkey Setting Mode Activation Command

By default, the command to activate Hotkey Setting Mode includes the [Scroll Lock] and minus [-]keys. This can be switched to include the [Ctrl] and [F12] keys by performing the following command:

1.Activate Hotkey Setting Mode using the aforementioned command.

2.Press and release the [H] key.

A couple of seconds after releasing the [H] key, the activation command will be changed to use [Ctrl] instead of [Scroll Lock], and [F12] instead of the minus [-]key. Once the activation command is changed, you will be exited from Hotkey Setting Mode. To change the activation command back, simply perform the Alternate Hotkey Setting Mode Activation Command again.
