There are four ways of accessing computers and devices connected to the B006-VUA4-K-R KVM switch:

Manual Push-buttons

Mouse port switching functionality

Hotkeys

OSD (On-Screen Display)

Pressing a push-button will bring the focus of one of the following to the corresponding port; KVM focus only, Audio focus only, or KVM, Audio and USB focus simultaneously. You will be able to switch the focus of the desired functionality by pressing the corresponding push-button once, twice, or by holding it for longer than 2 seconds. Depending on whether the KVM Button Settings are set to Mode 1 or Mode 2 in the OSD, you will switch functionality focus in different ways.
