Using the KVM Switch

To modify the hot-key preceding sequence from the default Scroll Lock, you can either hit the hot-key sequence: scrlk – scrlk – H – (y), y = SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12, LEFT_CTRL, RIGHT_CTRL, or NUM LOCK (as detailed in the Hot Key Quick Reference Table below).

or

You can use another method: Press and hold the last button to enter the hot-key setting mode.

Step 1. Press and hold the last button (i.e., the second button on the 2-port model or the fourth button on the 4-port model) till you hear two beeps. Then release the button.

Step 2. Within two seconds, you should hit any of the selectable hot-key triggers (y), y = SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12, LEFT_CTRL, RIGHT_CTRL, or NUM LOCK, to be your hot-key trigger.

For example, if you hit CAPS after hearing the two beeps, then the hot key will be: CAPS – CAPS – command key.

For detailed hot-key sequences and their corresponding functional commands, please refer to the Hot Key Quick Reference Table below.

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.
