Basic Operation
When enabled, the
Mouse Port Switching Functionality
allows users with scroll-wheel mice to
simultaneously switch the focus of the
KVM, Audio
and
USB
between ports by double-clicking the
scroll wheel on their mouse. When used, ports will be accessed in sequential order (e.g. port 1 will
switch to port 2; port 2 to port 3, and so on).
Hotkey Commands
Keyboard hotkey commands allow you to switch the KVM functionality between ports using only
the keyboard. You can switch the
KVM, Audio
and
USB
all at the same time, or each one can be
switched individually. You can therefore have the
KVM
focus on one computer, while the
USB Hub
ports are being accessed by a second computer, and
Audio
from a third computer is playing.
In addition, there are keyboard hotkey commands that can be used to change settings on the
KVM switch, such as enabling/disabling the
Alternative Pushbutton Commands
, initiating
Firmware
Upgrade Mode
, etc.
The following sections describe the hotkey functionality available for the B004-DUA2-HR-K and
B004-DUA4-HR-K.
Port Switching Hotkeys
To switch functionality between ports, a keyboard hotkey command is entered that determines what
port is accessed and which functionality is assigned to it. This command starts by pressing [Scroll
Lock] [Scroll Lock] or [Ctrl] [Ctrl]. [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] is used by default. To toggle between
these two, see the
Alternate Port Switching Hotkey Command
section of this manual.
The table below contains the
Port Switching Hotkeys
used to determine what port is accessed and
which functionality is assigned to it.
Note:
The table below uses the [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock]
preceding sequence. Simply substitute [Ctrl][Ctrl] if you decide to change the
Hotkey Preceding
Sequence.
