Hotkey Operation
The GCS1722 / GCS1724 provides an extensive, easy-to-use, hotkey function that makes it convenient to control and
configure your KVM installation from the keyboard.
Port Switching
All port switches begin with tapping the Scroll Lock key twice. The tables below describe the actions that each combination
performs.
Note: If using the Scroll Lock key conflicts with other programs running on the computer, the Ctrl key can be used, instead.
