Manual Operation

You can conveniently operate the CE680 / CE690 by pressing the pushbuttons located on the unit’s front panel.

Select an Operating Mode (page 16) by pressing the Operation Mode Pushbutton. The Remote Unit also has a pushbutton for waking up a PC on the local site (page 18). The LEDs on the front panel indicate the operating status of the device (page 19).

Operating Modes

The CE680 / CE690 DVI Optical KVM Extender has three operating modes – Local, Auto, and Remote, as described in the table below:

Mode	Description
Local	Only the local console has KVM access. The remote console’s
	keyboard and mouse input is disabled.
Auto	Both the local and remote consoles can have KVM access, but
	not at the same time. The console without access has to wait
	until the console with access stops inputting data before it can
	gain access. The default operating mode is Auto.
Remote	Only the remote console has KVM access. Remote mode can
	only occur when the CE680L / CE690L is set to Auto and the
	local console is idle.
