To modify the hot-key preceding sequence from the default Scroll Lock, you can

ESC, F12, LEFT_CTRL, RIGHT_CTRL, or NUM LOCK (as detailed in the Hot Key
Quick Reference Table below).

You can use another method: Press and hold the last button to enter the hot-key
setting mode.
Step 1
. Press and hold the last button (i.e., the second button on the 2-port model
or the fourth button on the 4-port model) till you hear two beeps. Then
release the button.
Step 2.
Within two seconds, you should hit any of the selectable hot-key triggers
(y), y = SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12, LEFT_CTRL, RIGHT_CTRL, or
NUM LOCK, to be your hot-key trigger.
For example, if you hit CAPS after hearing the two beeps, then the hot key will be:
CAPS – CAPS – command key.
For detailed hot-key sequences and their corresponding functional commands,

Read the version of firmware that is currently on the KVM
Switch. This is helpful when a firmware upgrade is performed as
it gives you the ability to read the version of firmware, before and
after the upgrade, to ensure the firmware has installed correctly.
Notes:
1. The USB keyboard hot keys allow faster and broader control of your KVM Switch and audio/mic switching
in addition to the front-panel buttons.
If you have configured a hot-key preceding sequence other than
two consecutive scroll locks, you should change your hot-key sequence accordingly. (For hot-key
preceding sequence configuration, please refer to the Hot Key Quick Reference Table.)
2. When the binding of PC and audio and mic switching is enabled by the hot-key sequence: ScrLk + ScrLk
+ Q, any PC and audio and mic switching by hot keys are bound together.
(However, the binding will not
affect the independent front-panel button operation.)
To remove this binding, use the hot-key sequence:
ScrLk + ScrLk + W.
