Operation
Switching Between Systems
Pushbuttons
For the 2 port (SV231DVGAU2A) version, the front button will toggle
between the two computers when pressed.
For the 4 port (SV431DVGAU2A) version, each button on the front
panel associates with a connected computer for selection.
Hotkeys
A hotkey command is a short keyboard sequence for selecting
a computer, activating a computer scan, etc. A hotkey sequence
starts with two Left Ctrl keystrokes, pressed within 0.2 seconds and
followed by one or two keystrokes to complete the command.
A built-in buzzer generates a high-pitched beep for correct hotkey
commands; otherwise, one low-pitch beep occurs to indicate errors
and the bad key sequence won't be forwarded to the selected
computer.
Note: To disable hotkey functions, press and hold Left Shift and press
Num Lock twice, then release Shift followed by pressing Left Ctrl
once.
