CHAPTER 5: Operation
• Use {Hotkeys} + [L] to lock the Switch (disable its shared keyboard and mouse
and select nonexistent “channel zero” in order to shut off the video output
from the Switch to the shared monitors). If a password has not been set (see
Section 4.2.9), the Switch behaves exactly as if you had entered {Hotkeys} + [0]
(see above). If a password has been set, the Switch displays “P” to indicate that
a valid password must be entered to unlock the switch; simply type in the
password followed by the [Enter] key to do so. Note that if anyone has tried to
type something at the shared keyboard while the Switch is locked, you will have
to press [Enter] to clear those characters so that they won’t invalidate the
password when you proceed to type it in.
Examples of common hotkey commands (assuming the hotkeys are [Ctrl] and [Alt]):
• To select channel 2:
Press and hold [Ctrl] and [Alt], press and release [2], release [Ctrl] and [Alt].
• To “tab through” channels:
Press and hold [Ctrl] and [Alt], press and release [Tab] (repeat as many times
as necessary), release [Ctrl] and [Alt].
