14. Operating the system
In general the system is controlled in a first come first served basis, with either the
Transmitter or Receiver position taking control. The other position can gain control
by using the mouse/keyboard after the period of inactivity (timeout), or by pressing
the hotkey
Shift , F10 – depending on the method chosen in the KVMS Extender
settings– see pages 12 and 12.

settings, the current controlling position can lock control so that the other position
cannot gain control.
To lock control:
Press Shift , F12 . The controlling position’s Lock LED blinks. The other position’s
Lock LED illuminates and the Active LED blinks.
To release control, press Shift , Esc . The Lock LEDs darken. Either position can
now take control.
