OPERATION
Selecting which computer to operate can be done either by On-Screen Display, the select
button, or through keyboard “Hot Key” commands. You will notice that after the DKVM-8
switches to another computer, the mouse will be inoperative for about 1-2 seconds. This
is normal operation and ensures that proper mouse synchronization is established.
Pressing the “Channel” button cycles you through all the ports, including inactive ports.
Keyboard “Hot Key” Commands
You can also conveniently command the DKVM-8 to switch ports (channel) through
simple keyboard key sequences. To send commands to the DKVM-8, the SCROLL
LOCK key must be pressed twice within 2 seconds. You will hear a beep for
confirmation. Below are the different commands.
