Port Switching; Manual Push-Buttons - Tripp Lite B006-VUA4-K-R Owner's Manual

Port Switching

There are four ways of accessing computers and devices connected to the B006-VUA4-K-R
KVM switch:

• Manual Push-buttons

• Mouse port switching functionality
• Hotkeys
• OSD (On-Screen Display)
Manual Push-Buttons
Pressing a push-button will bring the focus of one of the following to the corresponding
port; KVM focus only, Audio focus only, or KVM, Audio and USB focus simultaneously. You
will be able to switch the focus of the desired functionality by pressing the corresponding
push-button once, twice, or by holding it for longer than 2 seconds. Depending on whether
the KVM Button Settings are set to Mode 1 or Mode 2 in the OSD, you will switch
functionality focus in different ways. The differences between Mode 1 and Mode 2 are
described in the table below.
Push-Button Combination

push-button for more than two

Note: Upon pressing a push-button to switch the functionality focus to a desired port,
the OSD screen will display momentarily. The OSD will display a hand icon in each
functionality column next to the port which has its focus. The duration for which the OSD
menu is displayed can be changed using the Port Display Duration setting in the OSD F6
Settings Page. (See page 20 for details) The OSD screen will not display when using the
