Page 9: Hotkey Commands
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.
