4.2.4 Switching mode
Using the configuration menu, you can define a default switching mode. The switching mode determines which peripherals
(KVM, USB1, USB2 and/or speakers) should be moved to the next computer when it is selected using any of the standard meth-
ods.
Regardless of the default switching mode set here, during use you can always change the mode using either the MODE but-
ton (on the front panel) or using the additional hotkey press combinations.
Note: Of the external switching methods, the RS-232 serial signal input will switch the peripherals as defined by the currently
selected switching mode. However, switching control initiated by the channel select input lines will always switch all of the periph-
erals to the chosen channel regardless of the switching mode.
