Basic Operation

Powering Off and Restarting

In the event that you need to power off the KVM switch, you must follow the steps below:

1.Shut down all computers connected to the KVM switch

2.Unplug the power supply from the KVM switch

3.Wait 10 seconds and then plug the power supply back into the KVM switch

4.Power on all of the connected computers

Port Switching

There are three ways of accessing computers and devices connected to the KVM switch:

•Manual Pushbuttons

•Mouse port switching functionality

•Hotkeys

Manual Pushbuttons

Pressing a pushbutton will bring the focus of one of the following to the corresponding port; KVM only, Audio only, USB only, or KVM, Audio and USB focus simultaneously. What functionality is switched is determined by the Mode Selection pushbutton.

Press the Mode Selection pushbutton to determine the functionality that is switched to a port when its pushbutton is pressed. Pressing the mode selection pushbutton once highlights the KVM, Audio and USB functionality icons all at the same time. Pressing it twice highlights KVM only; three times Audio only; and four times USB only.

After selecting the desired functionality via the Mode Selection pushbutton, press the pushbutton of the port you want to switch that functionality to.

Pressing and holding pushbuttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for more than 2 seconds will initiate Auto Scan mode at the default interval of 5 seconds per port. Auto Scan mode switches between ports at regular intervals. During Auto Scan mode, only the KVM focus switches between ports, while Audio and USB remain on the port they were at when Auto Scan mode was initiated. To exit Auto Scan mode, press the [Esc] or [Spacebar] key. On the B004-2DUA4-K, pressing and holding pushbuttons 3 and 4 simultaneously for more than 2 seconds performs a keyboard/mouse reset.

Mouse Port Switching Functionality

When enabled, the Mouse Port Switching Functionality allows users with scroll mice to simultaneously switch the focus of the KVM, Audio and USB between ports by double-clicking the scroll wheel on their mouse. When used, ports will be accessed in sequential order. (e.g. port 1 will switch to port 2; port 2 to port 3, and so on).

As this function is disabled by default, you have to enable it via hotkey command (See Mouse Port Switching in the Hotkeys section of this manual for details).

For Mouse Port Switching Functionality to work, Mouse Emulation must be turned on.

Hotkeys

Hotkeys allow you to switch functionality focus between ports using only the keyboard, as well as configure KVM switch settings. The following section describes the hotkey functionality available for the B004-2DUA2-K and B004-2DUA4-K.
