Center Function

Pushing the button in the center switches both the KVM Switch and audio for that specific computer at the same time.

Pushing the KVM LED on the left of the button allows you to switch just your USB keyboard, video, and mouse to that connected computer.

Pushing the Audio LED on the right of the button allows you to independently switch your audio feed while continuing to work off of a different computer.

Selecting a Computer Using Keyboard Hot-Key Commands

A keyboard hot-key sequence consists of at least three specific keystrokes (hot-key sequence = [ScrLk] + [ScrLk] + Command key(s)).

User-definable hot keys also allow you to customize your hot-key sequence. For example:

SCROLL LOCK

CAPS

F12

NUM LOCK

LEFT_CTRL

RIGHT_CTRL
