   Note:

Port Selection

The CS1732 B / CS1734 B provides four methods to obtain instant access to any computer in your installation: Manual, Hotkey, mouse, and OSD.

Manual

Simply press the appropriate Port Selection Switch on the CS1732

• Press a button once to bring only the KVM focus simultaneously to the computer attached to its corresponding port (in 2 secs).
• Press a button twice to bring the Audio focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port (in 2 secs).
• Press a button for longer than 2 seconds to bring the KVM, Audio and USB focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port.

Hotkey

All Hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey Mode. Invoking Hotkey Mode takes three steps:

1. Hold down the Num Lock key;
2. Press and release the asterisk or the minus key;
3. Release the Num Lock key: [Num Lock] + [-];

Note: The n stands for the computer's Port ID number (1, 2, 3, 4).

Mouse

Simply double-click the scroll wheel on the mouse to switch between ports. The mouse port-switching function allows you to cycle through the ports in sequence.

Note:

1. The default setting for the mouse port switching function is OFF. To enable the mouse port-switching function, use the OSD.
2. The mouse port-switching function is only supported when Mouse Emulation is set to ON.

OSD (On Screen Display)

The On Screen Display (OSD) is a menu driven method to handle computer control and switching operations. All procedures start from the OSD Main Screen. To pop up the Main Screen, tap the [Scroll Lock] key twice.

1. Before the OSD Main Screen comes up, a dialog box appears that asks you to provide your password. If the password function has been set, you must provide the password in order to access the OSD Main Screen.

Note: If this is the first time that the OSD is being run, or if the password function has not been set, simply press [Enter].

2. To bring the focus to a port, press the [F1], [F2], [F3] or [F7] key, then move the Highlight Bar to the port you want to switch to, press [Enter] or double click it.
