Powering Up the Systems
Once all cables have been connected, power up your CPUs that are attached to
the Switch. All computers can be powered on simultaneously. The Switch
emulates a mouse and keyboard on each port and will allow your computer to
boot normally. Your Switch should now be ready for use.
You can select which computer to operate through hot key commands. Note that
it will take 1-2 seconds for the video to display after switching. This is due to
the refresh of the video signal. A re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard
signal also takes place. This is normal operation and ensures that proper
synchronization is established.
You can conveniently change ports on the Switch through a keyboard command
sequence using the “SCROLL LOCK” key and up and down arrow keys. To send
commands to the Switch, press the “SCROLL LOCK” key twice within two seconds.
You will hear a beep for confirmation. Then you can press the up or down arrow
keys to switch between ports.
