OPERATION
Port Selection
The LCD KVM provides fours switching methods: Manual Key, Hot Key, Mouse Clicking and OSD.
Manual Key
It is the simplest switching method. You just need to press the Port Selection Switch on the front
panel of the KVM. The Selection LED (Red) is on, indicating that you are switching to the
corresponding port.
Note:
1. The Port Selection Switch functions only when connected to a PC.
2. If the Offline Skip of the OSD System Setting is Auto, then you cannot make any switch when
pressing an offline Port Selection Switch.
3. For Auto Scan Mode, none of the Port Selection Switches functions.
Hot Key and Mouse Clicking
Hot key and mouse clicking are applicable for switching a small section. You can select the SVS
(Smart View Setting) from the OSD of the PC first (for a quick switch of PC) and use the keyboard
(press the Ctrl key twice) or the mouse (press and hold the middle button while pressing the left or
right button) to switch to the previous or next set of PC.
Note:
The mouse must have at least 3 keys. As far as you select a PC with the SVS, you can use this
method for the switch.
OSD (On Screen Display)
Press the NumLock on the keyboard twice or simultaneously press the Push Buttons 1 and 2 of
the Port Selection Switch on the KVM panel to start the OSD. Use the Up, Down and Enter keys
on the keyboard to switch or directly move the mouse to the target PC, and then double click the
left button.
Additionally, you also can use the numeric keys to enter the direct switch. For example, if you
want to switch a PC to the Slave KVM port 04 under the Master KVM port 03, then you can start
the OSD and then directly enter 0304. If you are using a standalone machine, then just enter the
first two digits.
More OSD related information are given in the following OSD sections.
On Screen Display (OSD)
Start
Press the NumLock twice or the Port Selection Switches 1 and 2 on the panel to enter the OSD.
Note: If you have modified the Hot Key for starting the OSD and are unable to enter the OSD by
pressing NumLock, then you can start the OSD by using the Port Selection Switch first, and then
press F9 to enter into the System Setting to modify the options of the OSD Entry Hot Key.
Operation
You can operate the options by keyboard or mouse. For the keyboard operation, besides the
common Up and Down keys, there are special function keys such as Enter, Space Bar, Function
Key (F1,F4…) under the OSD remark field. For the mouse operation, the left key refers to Enter
and the right key refers to Exit. For example, move the mouse point to your desired PC, and
click the left key. The selection bar will move to that position and then click the left key again for
the execution. Note: You must use the keyboard to complete the two functions: Name Edit and
Password.
