Port Switching via Matrix Windows
To bring complete KVM focus to a particular port using the CM0264's Matrix
Windows function, maximize that port's matrix window in one of three ways:
1. Double click the title bar of matrix window of the display;
2. Double click inside the matrix window of the display; or
3. Use the standard Windows Maximize/Minimize functions.
Methods 1 and 3 above perform a software-based port switch within the GUI;
method 2 performs a full port switch. Operation may be slightly slower using
the full port switch, depending on your computer's processor speed and RAM
specifications. See Hardware, page 3.
Once the matrix window is maximized to full screen, all keyboard and mouse
operations also switch to that port. Full KVM focus is maintained as long as the
matrix window remains maximized. See also Matrix Windows Display
Sequence, page 41.
To switch focus to another port, either maximize the matrix window of the
target port, or, if the matrix windows have been hidden, use the GUI Toolbar
to disable Hide Matrix Windows and then select your port.
For your reference, when you switch ports to different computers, the port
number displays in the top left of the matrix window for three seconds:
