Hotkey Port Access

Hotkey Port Access allows you to select which computer has the KVM focus and/or which computer has access to the USB peripherals.

Note: CPU Port selection and USB Port assignment can be done independently (asynchronously). One computer can have the KVM focus while another has access to the USB peripherals.

The CS-1732 / CS-1734 provides the following Hotkey Port Access features:
