Chapter 4. Hotkey Operation; Port Switching; Cycling Through The Ports - ATEN CS1742 User Manual

The CS1742 / CS1744 hotkey function makes it convenient to operate your
KVM installation from the keyboard. Asynchronous (independent) switching
of the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus is supported. You can give one
computer the KVM console focus, another the USB hub focus, while a third
has the audio focus.

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. See Alternate HSM Invocation
Keys, page 17 for details.
