Selecting a computer

There are four main ways to switch the common peripherals to specific
computer channels:
• Using the on-screen menu 
•
Using the front panel controls
•
Using mouse button presses
•
Using hotkeys
Note: When first powered on, the on-screen menu will be displayed, and the
front panel indicator will show a dash (-) to signify that no channel is selected.
Whenever the Keyboard, Video and Mouse (KVM) are
switched (either as a separate group or together with other
peripherals), the on-screen menu will disappear as the new
computer channel is displayed. For all other peripheral
switching, the on-screen menu will remain displayed - press
the ESC button to remove the menu from the screen.
