Chapter 3
Basic Operation

Port Selection

KH1508A / KH1516A / KH1532A installations provide three methods to
obtain instant access to any computer on your installation: Manual, OSD (on-
screen display), and Hotkey.

Manual

Manual port selection simply involves pressing the port selection switch that
corresponds to the device you wish to access.

OSD

The OSD provides a menu driven interface to the computer switching
procedure. OSD operation is discussed in the next chapter.

Hotkey

Hotkeys allow you to conveniently provide KVM focus to a particular
computer from the keyboard instead of having to manually select them by
pressing port selection switches, or accessing the OSD. Keyboard operation is
discussed in Chapter 5.
