USING YOUR KVM SWITCH

You can select which computer to operate by either the direct-access port selector located on the front panel of the KVM Switch or through keyboard hot key commands. Note that it will take 1–2 seconds for the video to display after switching. This is due to the refresh rate of the video signal. There is also re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signal that takes place. This is normal operation and ensures that proper synchronization is established.

Selecting a Computer Using Direct-Access Port Selectors

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

Selecting a Computer Using Keyboard Hot Key Commands

Note: You must connect the USB keyboard to the designated USB connector to have keyboard hot key switching function on

the keyboard.

You can command the KVM Switch to switch ports with a simple keyboard command sequence by using the [SCROLL LOCK] key and [UP], [DOWN] arrow keys. To send commands to the KVM Switch, the [SCROLL LOCK] key must be pressed twice within two seconds. You will hear a beep for confirmation. Then you can press the [UP], [DOWN] arrow keys to switch between ports.

Switch to next active port, [UP] arrow

Switch to previous active port, [DOWN] arrow

You can switch directly to any port by entering the port number of the port you wish to use. For example, if you press [SCROLL LOCK], [SCROLL LOCK], [2], the computer on port 2 will be selected.
