The GCS1953 provides an extensive, easy-to-use, Hotkey function that makes it
convenient to control and configure your KVM installation from the keyboard. Hotkeys
provide asynchronous (independent) switching of the KVM, USB hub and audio focus. If
you wish, you can give one computer the KVM console focus, another the USB hub focus
and the other two the audio focus.
Port Switching
All port switches begin with tapping the
[Scroll Lock]
key twice. The tables below describe
the actions that each combination performs.
Note:
If using the Scroll Lock key conflicts with other programs running on the computer,
the
[Ctrl]
key can be used, instead. See
Alternate Port Switching Keys
, page 22, for
details.
