Operation

Operating Modes

The CE250A KVM Extender has two operating modes: Local and Remote, as described in the table below:

Mode	Description
Local	Only the local console has KVM (keyboard, video, mouse)
	access. The remote console’s monitor is blank, and the remote
	console’s keyboard and mouse input is disabled.
Local / Remote	Both the local and remote consoles can have KVM access.
	However, they cannot both have access at the same time. The
	console without access has to wait until the console with access
	stops inputting data before it can gain access.

Mode Selection

The Operating Mode Selection Switch, located on the CE250AL’s front panel, controls the operating mode of the CE250A KVM Extender system. Pressing the switch toggles the system between Local and Local / Remote operating modes.
