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 methods. Regardless of the default switching mode set here,
during use you can always change the mode using either the MODE button (on
the front panel) or using the additional hotkey press combinations.
Note: Of the external switching methods, the RC4 remote and the RS-232 serial
signal inputs 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 peripherals to the chosen channel regardless of
the switching mode.
