Using your E Series KVM Switch

Selecting a Computer Using Port-Selector Buttons

You can directly select which computer you wish to control by pressing the direct-access port selector next to the corresponding port. The LED will illuminate to indicate the port is currently selected.

LED Display

The LED display on the front panel of the E Series KVM Switch serves as a status monitor. An LED illuminates to indicate that the console currently controls the corresponding computer. As a port selector is pushed, the LED next to it will light up. A flashing port LED indicates that there is no computer connected to that port or that the computer connected is powered off. The LED will also blink while the KVM Switch is in AutoScan mode.

Note: The port LED will remain solid for some computers that continuously supply power to the keyboard PS/2 port even while they are shut down.

AutoScan Mode

In AutoScan mode, the E Series KVM Switch remains on one active port for five seconds before switching to the next active port. This time interval cannot be changed.

To activate the AutoScan function, press “Scroll Lock”, “Scroll Lock”, “0”.

To stop AutoScan, press any button on the front panel or any key on the keyboard.

Note: There is no mouse or keyboard control in AutoScan mode. This is necessary to prevent data and synchronization errors. If the user is using the mouse or keyboard when the E Series KVM Switch is switching between ports, data flow may become interrupted and could result in erratic mouse movement and/or wrong-character input when using the keyboard.
