Hotkey Operation; Port Switching; Cycling Through The Ports - ATEN CS-1742 User Manual

The CS-1742 / CS-1744 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 p. 17 for details.
