ServSwitch™ Wizard DP USB
5.1.2 Selecting a computer using hotkeys
Using hotkey combinations, you can quickly switch the keyboard, video monitor(s), mouse and speakers and USB peripherals to any computer channel.
5.1.2.1 What are hotkeys?
The 
and 
keys when pressed in combination are called ‘hotkeys’ and they signal to the Wizard DP USB unit that you wish to control it, rather than the computer. However, if these particular hotkeys clash with another device or program, you can change them to a different combination within the Configuration menu.
There are two mains ways to use hotkeys: Standard and Additional.
5.1.2.2 Standard hotkey press combinations
The standard hotkey press combinations allow you to change channels with the minimum of keypresses:
1Simultaneously press and hold 
and 
(or other hotkeys, if altered).
2While still holding 
and 
, press the number key of the required channel address (or the TAB key), then release all of the keys.
Note: The numbers on your keyboard’s numeric keypad are not valid, use only the numeral keys above the QWERTY section.
The ports (KVM, audio and/or USB) that are switched using this method depend upon the switching mode that is currently set using the front panel buttons.
The range of standard hotkey combinations are as follows:
Note: If your hotkeys have been changed, substitute them for
