The button on the top panel of Local Unit can be used to switch mode among Local, Remote, and Auto in the sequence as the diagram shown below:

Auto Local On Remote On

Auto: The LEDs “Remote” and “Local” flash alternatively, the system is now waiting for the Remote or Local Unit to take control. The control priority is on the first come, first served basis.

For example, once the keyboard or mouse attached to the Local Unit is active, the LED “Local” will light up and the LED “Remote” will light off. This status indicates that the Local Unit is now taking control of the system, and vice versa for Remote Unit. In Auto mode, the duration of latch time for taking control can be preset to 5, 15, 30, or 60 seconds via hotkeys, which allows the Local or Remote Unit to resume control again via any keystroke or mouse activity if the latch time is due and the status returns to the “Auto” mode.

In “Auto” mode, whenever, any activity from the keyboard, mouse buttons or mouse scroll wheel is detected, the Unit (Local Unit or Remote Unit) immediately takes control of the system.

Local On: The LED “Local” lights up, the connected PC (or KVM Switch) is controlled by the Local Unit. In this case, 3 LEDs (Num, Caps and Scroll Lock) flash on the keyboard attached to the Remote Unit.

Remote On: The LED “Remote” lights up, the system can be remotely controlled by the Remote Unit.
