Kvm Operation; Mouse Port Switching Functionality; Keyboard Hotkeys - Tripp Lite B004-DP2UA2-K Owner's Manual

KVM Operation

There are three ways of accessing computers and devices connected to the KVM switch.
• Remote Port Selector

• Mouse port switching functionality

• Keyboard Hotkeys

Notes:
1. When switching ports, wait a few seconds for the selected computer's video to display on the console
monitor prior to switching ports again.
2. Do not switch port when a USB peripheral device is in operation.
Remote Port Selector
Press the button on the remote port selector to toggle both KVM and audio focus between ports.
Mouse Port Switching Functionality
Note: Mouse port switching is disabled by default and must be enabled via keyboard hotkey command. In
addition, this function is only supported when the KVM's mouse emulation mode is enabled, which is also
disabled by default (see the Hotkey section for details). Only 3-key wheel mice are supported.
When enabled, the Mouse Port Switching Functionality allows users with scroll mice to
simultaneously switch the focus of the KVM and Audio between ports by double-clicking the scroll
wheel on their mouse.
Keyboard Hotkeys
Hotkeys allow you to switch functionality focus between ports using only the keyboard, as well as
perform other functions on the KVM switch. All hotkey commands start by pressing the [Scroll
Lock] key twice and are followed by one or more keys pressed. For example, to toggle both KVM
and Audio focus between ports, one would press [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] [Enter].
Alternate Hotkey Preceding Sequence
By default, hotkey sequences start by hitting the [Scroll Lock] key twice; however, if using [Scroll
Lock] conflicts with other programs on the connected computers, you can change this to use the
[Ctrl] key instead. You can change the hotkey preceding sequence in two ways:
• Press [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] [x] [Enter] to switch to the [Ctrl] key. Pressing [Ctrl] [Ctrl] [x]
[Enter] will switch the hotkey preceding sequence back to [Scroll Lock].
OR
• With the remote port selector connected to the KVM, press and hold the selector button for three
seconds to toggle between the two hotkey preceding sequences.
