Basic Operation

Hotkey Setting Mode

All configuration of the KVM’s settings takes place in Hotkey Setting mode. All commands in Hotkey Setting mode start by entering the Hotkey Setting Mode Activation Command. When Hotkey Setting Mode is activated, the [Scroll Lock] and [Caps Lock] keyboard LEDs flash in succession and ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended. The section that follows describes how to activate Hotkey Setting mode, and the commands that can be performed in it. A table at the end of this section summarizes all of the commands.

Hotkey Setting Mode Activation Command

To activate Hotkey Setting mode, do the following.

1.Press and hold down the [Num Lock] key

2.While holding down the [Num Lock] key, press and release the minus [-] key

3.After releasing the minus [-] key, release the [Num Lock] key

Alternate Hotkey Setting Mode Activation Command

The Hotkey Setting Mode Activation Command defaults at [Scroll Lock] [-], but can be switched to use [Ctrl] [F12]. When switched to [Ctrl] [F12], the [Ctrl] key takes the place of the [Scroll Lock] key, and [F12] takes the place of the [-] key.

Keyboard Operating System

The B004-2DUA2-K and B004-2DUA4-K default keyboard configuration is for use with PC compatible keyboards. If you have a Mac or Sun computer, you can enable the KVM to emulate Mac or Sun keyboard commands. When enabled, your PC compatible keyboard can be used to perform commands specific to Mac or Sun (See the Keyboard Emulation section in this manual for details). To set the Keyboard Operating System, do the following.

1.Navigate to the port whose Keyboard Operating System setting you wish to change

2.Activate Hotkey Setting Mode using the aforementioned command

3.Press and release the [F2] (for Mac), [F3] (for Sun), or [F10] (for Auto-Detect) key

When enabled for Auto-Detect, a pass-through keyboard mode is enabled in which keystrokes are sent directly to the computer without first going through the Mac or Sun emulator.
