Powering Off and Restarting
Powering off the KM0216 / KM0432 does not affect the computers attached to it. When you restart the KM0216 / KM0432, you will regain control immediately. To replace a KM0216 / KM0432, simply power it down; unplug the cables; plug them into the new unit; and power the new unit on.
Note: If any of the computers behave strangely after powering off and restarting, or changing a switch, simply restart the computer.
Port Selection
Port Selection is accomplished either by means of the KM0216 / KM0432’s OSD (On Screen Display), or by entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard. OSD Operation is discussed in detail in the next chapter; Hotkey Port Selection is discussed in chapter 4.
Although hotkeys are handy for a single stage installation, we strongly recommend you use the more powerful and versatile OSD - especially for daisy chained, cascaded, and combined installations.
