Read the version of rmware that is currently on the KVM
Switch. This is helpful when a rmware upgrade is performed as
it gives you the ability to read the version of rmware, before and
after the upgrade, to ensure the rmware has installed correctly.

Notes:

1. The USB keyboard hot keys allow faster and broader control of your KVM Switch and audio/mic switching

in addition to the front-panel buttons. If you have configured a hot-key preceding sequence other than

two consecutive scroll locks, you should change your hot-key sequence accordingly. (For hot-key

preceding sequence configuration, please refer to the Hot Key Quick Reference Table.)

2. When the binding of PC and audio and mic switching is enabled by the hot-key sequence: ScrLk + ScrLk

+ Q, any PC and audio and mic switching by hot keys are bound together. (However, the binding will not

affect the independent front-panel button operation.) To remove this binding, use the hot-key sequence:

ScrLk + ScrLk + W.

Mac® User: Standard PC keyboard mapping to MAC keyboard -- ScrLk + ScrLk + C = (CD/DVD drive

eject key); ScrLk + ScrLk + F10 = F13 ; ScrLk + ScrLk + F11 = F14 ; ScrLk + ScrLk + F12 = F15.
