Hotkey Port Access
Hotkey Port Access allows you to select which computer has the KVM focus and/or which computer has access to the USB peripherals.
Note: CPU Port selection and USB Port assignment can be done independently (asynchronously). One computer can have the KVM focus while another has access to the USB peripherals.
