Front Panel Push Buttons

You may select a computer by pressing the front panel push button directly, by issuing hot-key commands or by activating the OSD window (for models with OSD support). The front panel indicator changes to reflect the computer port selected (red) and whether the port is connected to a powered computer (green). The indicator flashes red when it is in either Auto Scan or Manual Scan mode.
