CL-1758 User Manual

Port Selection

CL-1758 installations provide three methods to obtain instant access to any computer in your installation: Manual, On Screen Display (OSD), and Hotkey.

Manual

For manual port selection on the CL-1758, simply press the Port Switch that corresponds to the device you wish to access.

For manual port selection on the cascaded CS-1758 switches, first press the Port Switch on the parent unit that the cascaded switch is connected to, then press the Port Switch on the cascaded switch that corresponds to the device you wish to access.

OSD

The OSD provides a menu driven interface to the computer switching procedure. OSD operation is discussed in the next chapter.

Hotkey

Hotkeys allow you to conveniently provide KVM focus to a particular computer from the keyboard, instead of having to manually select them by pressing Port Selection switches. Hotkey operation is discussed in Chapter 5.
