Manual Switching

There are two convenient methods to access the computers: Manual – which
involves pressing the port selection pushbuttons located on the unit's front
panel; and Keyboard Port Hotkey – which involves entering combinations
from the keyboard (see Chapter 4, Keyboard Port Operation).
For manual port selection:
Press and hold a port selection pushbutton for more than 2 seconds to
bring the KVM focus plus the USB and Audio focus to the computer
attached to its corresponding port.
Press and release a port selection pushbutton to bring the KVM focus to
the computer attached to its corresponding port. The USB and Audio focus
do not change – they stay with the port that they are already on.
Press and hold port selection pushbuttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for 2
seconds to start Auto Scan Mode. See Auto Scanning, page 17, for details.
Note: Press and release either port selection pushbutton to stop Auto Scan
Mode. The KVM focus goes to the computer attached to the
corresponding port of the pushbutton you pressed.
Press pushbuttons 3 and 4 simultaneously for 2 seconds to perform a
keyboard and mouse reset. (CS1734
