4. Operation
4.1 Powering Up the System
Once all cables have been connected and all computers have been powered on,
the ServSwitch emulates mouse and keyboard signals on each port, allowing your
computer to boot normally. The ServSwitch is now ready for use. You can
configure the ServSwitch in three ways: by pressing the front-panel button directly,
by activating the On-Screen Display (OSD) window, or by typing hotkey
commands.
