Slim Palmtop USB KVM Switch - Operation Quick Reference
There are three methods to control your KVM Switch
for PC and Audio/Mic channel selection: using (1) the
face-panel push button, (2) a hotkey sequence or (3) the
KVM Switcher Software.
Face-panel button
The face-panel button allows you a direct control over KVM
switching operation. Simply press the button to switch to the
corresponding PC port (and audio/mic channel, if binding is
enabled). By default, PC port switching and audio/mic port
switching are bound together.
You can use the face-panel button to switch to an empty port that is
not connected with any computer. Normally, if you use keyboard hotkeys
or the KVM Switcher software, you will not be able to switch to an empty
port.
Keyboard hotkeys
User-definable hotkeys for PC selection:
Hotkey
Combination
= Ctrl + Alt + [command key]*
* Please refer to
Command Key
section for keys that are
qualified to
be used as a command key
Universal hotkey for PC toggle-switching:
Both the universal hotkey, ScrLk + ScrLk and the user-definable
hotkey, Ctrl + Alt + [command key]

empty port that is not connected with any computer. To force your KVM
to switch to an empty port, just press the face-panel button to switch.

, you can
use the front-
panel push
button to
do the
switch
ing

Each keystroke within a hotkey sequence should be pressed within 2
seconds. Otherwise, the hotkey sequence will not be validated.
After perform port switching, you have to wait till the KVM Switch
icon shows forth the target port before you can perform next switching
again. The KVM Switcher icon could be found on the system tray of your
Windows desktop after its installation.
All the hotkeys are only functional after your PCs are booting into
the OS. If you want to switch PC in the BIOS/preboot stage, press the
face-panel button to switch.
