Hotkey Operation

The CS-1732A / CS-1734Aprovides an extensive, easy-to-use, hotkey function that makes it convenient to control and configure your KVM installation from the keyboard. Hotkeys provide asynchronous (independent) switching of the KVM, USB hub and audio focus. If you wish, you can give one computer the KVM console focus, another the USB hub focus, while a third has the audio focus.

Port Switching

All port switches begin with tapping the Scroll Lock key twice. The tables below describe the actions that each combination performs.

Note: If using the Scroll Lock key conflicts with other programs running on the computer, the Ctrl key can be used, instead. See p. 16 for details.
