Using Your Switch
Turn the power of the Systems on
Turn on your computers that attached to the Switch once all cables have
been connected. All computers can be powered on simultaneously. The
Switch emulates each port’s mouse and keyboards’ signals and allows
your computer to boot up normally. The Switch should be ready to use
now. Please wait patiently until all computers fully boot up.
You can access the computers through the Hot Key commands from the
keyboard. (It will take 1-2 seconds for the video to display after Switching

keyboard signal also takes place. This is normal operation which ensures
proper synchronization has been set up.
