Position
The actual display position of the selected computer and/or OSD shifts because of
different video resolution; the higher the resolution, the higher the display posi-
tion. Use the F4 key (More/Position) to select the position of the OSD menu on
the screen. Choose from five options: upper-left (UL), upper-right (UR), lower-left
(LL), lower-right (LR), or middle (M). The non-volatile memory stores the position
setting.
4.3 Selecting Computers Using Keyboard Hotkey Commands
Each computer is assigned a numeric ID. To directly switch the KVM control to any
computer via a simple keyboard command sequence, do the following:
1. To invoke the hotkey mode, press the Left-Ctrl key twice within two seconds.
The switch will beep to indicate that it’s in hotkey mode.
2. Enter your desired switch port number (1–8). For example, if you press Left-Ctrl,
Left-Ctrl, 2, you’ll select the computer on Port 2.
Or, do the following:
