Chapter 3.
Basic Operation
Manual Switching
There are two convenient methods to access the computers: Manual - which involves pressing the pushbutton port selection switches located on the unit’s front panel; and Hotkey - which involves entering combinations from the keyboard. Hotkey port selection is discussed in the next chapter.
For manual port selection:
MPress and release a port selection switch to bring the KVM focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port. The USB and Audio focus does not change - they stay with the port that they are already on.
MPress and hold a port selection switch for more than 2 seconds to bring the KVM focus, plus the USB and Audio focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port.
MPress and hold port selection switches 1 and 2 for more than 2 seconds to start Auto Scan Mode (see p. 15 for Auto Scan Mode details).
MPress and release either port selection switch to stop Auto Scan Mode. The KVM focus goes to the computer attached to the corresponding port of the switch you pressed.
