Basic Operation
Manual Switching
There are three convenient methods to access the computers: Manual – which
involves pressing the port selection pushbuttons located on the unit’s front
panel; Mouse – which involves clicking the scroll wheel of the mouse; and
Hotkey – which involves entering combinations from the keyboard. Hotkey
port selection is discussed in the next chapter.
For manual port selection:
 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
does not change – they stay with the port that they are already on.
 Press a port selection pushbutton twice to bring the audio focus to the
computer attached to its corresponding port.
 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 hold port selection pushbutton 1 and 2 for more than 2 seconds
to start Auto Scan Mode, see page 21 for details.
 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 switch you pressed.
