7. Basic Operation
There are three convenient methods to access the computers:
Manual – Pressing the port selection pushbuttons located on the unit's front panel.
Mouse – Clicking the scroll wheel of the USB mouse.
Hotkeys – Entering combinations from the keyboard.
7.1 Manual Switching
Manual Port Selection
• Press and release a port selection pushbutton to bring the KVM focus to the computer attached to its corresponding
port. The Port LED will illuminate bright orange.
• Press and hold port selection pushbutton 1 and 2 for more than 2 seconds to start Auto Scan Mode.
• Press and release either port selection pushbutton (1 or 2) to stop Auto Scan Mode. The KVM focus goes to the
computer attached to the corresponding port of the switch you pressed.
• Press port selection pushbuttons 3 and 4 simultaneously for 2 seconds to perform a keyboard and mouse reset.
Manual Port Switching
The B006-VU4-1 supports the very latest in mouse port-switching. Simply double-click the scroll wheel of your USB
mouse to cycle through the ports.
Notes:
• This feature is only supported by USB 3-key scroll wheel mice.
• The default setting is disabled.
• This feature is only supported when Mouse Emulation is enabled. See Mouse Port-switching for additional details.
7.2 Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to power off the B006-VU4-1, before restarting you must do the following:
1. Shut down all computers attached to the switch.
2. Unplug the switch's power adapter cable.
3. Wait 10 seconds, then plug in the switch's power adapter cable.
4. Once the switch is up, power on the computers.
7.3 Port ID Numbering
Each KVM port section on the B006-VU4-1 switch is assigned a port number. The port numbers are marked on the rear
panel of the switch. The Port ID of a computer is derived from the KVM port number it is connected to. For example, a
computer connected to KVM port 2 has a Port ID of 2. The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM focus
with the Hotkey port selection method.
7.4 Alternative Manual Port Selection
When Hotkey Setting Mode has been activated, pressing [S] will invoke the alternative front panel pushbutton manual port
selection function as follows:
• Press a port selection pushbutton once to bring the KVM focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port.
• Press and hold port selection pushbuttons 1 and 2 for more than 2 seconds to start Auto Scan Mode.
• Press port selection pushbuttons 3 and 4 simultaneously for 2 seconds to perform a keyboard and mouse reset.
