4. Switching KVM-0407

KVM-0407 supports 3 methods to switch between computers: Push button, Hot Keys and OSD. Due to refresh of the video and re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signal, it will take 1-3 seconds configure time after each switching. This is the normal operation that ensures the proper synchronization is established.

Note:

The drivers for most USB devices (Mass Storage device, CCD Cameras, Scanners, Card Reader, Printers, e.g.) are required to be shut down or follow the “Safely Remove” command provided in Windows before you disconnect the device, or else the system might be hanged. When you switch computers with the Port Selection Switch, it is the equivalent of disconnecting the device. Therefore, if you have peripheral devices (other than a second keyboard and mouse) connected to these ports, you must be sure to shut down or safely remove the USB driver for them before switching computers.

1. Manual Switch by push button:

You can switch to any other available active USB host connection by simply push the appropriate switch button on KVM-0407. The LED will be lit to indicate which port is currently selected.

2. Two Steps Hot Key Switch by keyboard:

You can switch to any available active USB host connection by using the three steps Hot Key directly, instead of manually select by pushbutton. To send

commands to KVM-0407, must be pressed twice ( Step1 ). Then you can

press [1] to [4] (Step 2) to switch between ports. (Support PS/2 Keyboard only)
