Pushbuttons

For the 2 port (SV231DVGAU2A) version, the front button will toggle 

between the two computers when pressed.

For the 4 port (SV431DVGAU2A) version, each button on the front

Hotkeys

A hotkey command is a short keyboard sequence for selecting 

a computer, activating a computer scan, etc. A hotkey sequence 

starts with two

keystrokes, pressed within

followed by one or two keystrokes to complete the command.

A built-in buzzer generates a high-pitched beep for correct hotkey 

commands; otherwise, one low-pitch beep occurs to indicate errors 

and the bad key sequence won’t be forwarded to the selected 

computer.

Note: 

To disable hotkey functions, press and hold

 twice, then release

once.
