and select any by pressing the ENTER key. Please note that the

be either switched off or in standby / power down mode. If you switch to any of these ports then
you will not have a video signal displayed and will have to boot or wake up the connected
computer. To access ports 9...16 simply scroll down with the cursor key below port 8.
To select any slave KVM switch select its bank number by pressing the Page Up / Down keys.

the OSD only if no password security is disabled or totally into Logon screen if password
