To change languages, click the drop-down arrow on the on-screen keyboard next to the currently selected language and select the new language:

Mouse Pointer Type

The B064-Series KVM Switch offers a number of mouse pointer options when working in the remote display. Click this icon to select from the available choices:

Clicking the arrow to the right of the language list will display/hide the expanded keyboard keys:

Dual Mouse Pointers – Select this option to display both local and remote mouse pointers as arrows.

Crosshairs Mouse Pointers – Select this option to display the local mouse pointer as a cross and the remote mouse pointer as an arrow.

Single Mouse Pointer – Select this option to display the remote mouse pointer only. The remote mouse pointer will display as an arrow.

Note: The icon on the Control Panel changes to match your choice.

Mouse Sync Mode

Click to toggle between Automatic and Manual mouse sync.

When Automatic mouse sync is selected, a green 4 appears on the icon.

When Manual mouse sync is selected, a red X appears on the icon.

Note: The Automatic feature only supports USB mice on Windows and Mac (G4 or higher) systems. This icon only becomes active when you are connected to a port that has an online computer matching those requirements; if not, the icon is inactive and only Manual mouse synchronization will be available.

Manual Mouse Synchronization

If the local mouse pointer goes out of sync with the remote system’s mouse pointer, there are a number of methods to bring them back into sync:

Before trying any mouse synchronization procedures, it is always a good idea to ensure that you go to your Mouse Properties Settings and set them according to the instructions that follow. The Mouse Properties Settings should be set on the computers attached to the B064-Series KVM Switch, not the computer you are using to access it.
