Using Your KVM Switch

The LEDs on the switch indicate which PC is active. You can scroll between PCs by either
pressing the push-button on the top of the switch or by using a hotkey command. A
hotkey command is a short sequence of keystrokes beginning with two left Ctrl
keystrokes followed by another keystroke. Use only the left Ctrl key and do not use the
keypad at the right of the keyboard.
