Hold audio Channel buttons
Audio Hold
The Audio Hold button prevents switching the audio port when changing
the other console peripherals (keyboard, mouse, video) to another
computer channel. This function is useful when you need to listen to the
audio from one computer while working on another.
Using the front panel computer channel buttons, first connect the console peripherals
to the computer from where the audio feed is required. Press the Audio Hold button on
the front panel. Then press the channel button for the computer that is required for the
other peripherals. The audio association will be signalled by the right indicator on each
channel's front panel push button.
To release the audio from hold status, press the Audio Hold button again.
Status display
The status display shows the current channel number; the
channel from which audio is being derived and also the
remote control unit status.
