Operation
There are two ways to access the computers connected to your KVM switch;
Pushbutton
or
Keyboard Hotkey Commands
.
Pushbutton
Press the pushbutton located on the front of the KVM of the port you want to
switch to. When switching between ports, the default is for the computer, audio
and USB hub functionality to be switched together. To un-bind either audio or USB
hub control from port switching, use the keyboard hotkey commands listed in the
following section.
Keyboard Hotkey Commands
Another way to switch between connected computers is to use keyboard hotkey
commands. Besides allowing you to switch computers, hotkey commands perform
other functions, such as binding/unbinding computer switching with audio and/or the
USB hub ports, initiating an auto scan, etc. When entering a hotkey command, each
keystroke must be within two seconds of the previous keystroke for the command
to be initiated. The following table lists the available keyboard hotkey commands,
explains how to initiate them and describes their function.
