Chapter 3

Basic Operation

Manual Switching

There are three convenient methods to access the computers: Manual – which 
involves pressing the port selection pushbuttons located on the unit’s front 
panel; Mouse – which involves clicking the scroll wheel of the mouse; and 
Hotkey – which involves entering combinations from the keyboard. Hotkey 
port selection is discussed in the next chapter. 

For manual port selection: 

Š

Press and hold a port selection pushbutton for more than 2 seconds to 
bring the KVM focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port. 
The USB and Audio focus do not change – they stay with the port that they 
are already on. 

Š

Press a port selection pushbutton twice to bring the audio focus to the 
computer attached to its corresponding port. 

Š

Press and release a port selection pushbutton to bring the KVM focus, plus 
the USB and Audio focus to the computer attached to its corresponding 
port.

Š

Press and hold port selection pushbutton 1 and 2 for more than 2 seconds 
to start Auto Scan Mode, see page 21 for details.

Š

Press and release either port selection pushbutton to stop Auto Scan Mode. 
The KVM focus goes to the computer attached to the corresponding port 
of the switch you pressed.
