Port Switching

There are two convenient methods to switch the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus among the ports: 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.

Manual Port Switching

MPress and release a switch (for less than three seconds) to bring only the KVM focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port.

MPress a switch for longer than three seconds to bring the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port.

MPress switches 1 and 2 simultaneously for 2 seconds to start Auto Scan Mode. See p. 16 for details.

Hotkey Port Switching

All port switches begin with tapping the Scroll Lock key twice. The tables on the following pages 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 Alternate Port Switching Keys, p. 18, for details.
