Chapter 3

Basic Operation

Overview

There are two convenient methods to access the computers: Manual – which

involves pressing the Mode and port selection pushbuttons located on the unit’s

front panel; and Hotkey – which involves entering combinations from the

keyboard. Hotkey port selection is discussed in the next chapter.

Manual Switching

The Mode selection pushbutton and the pushbuttons that correspond to each

port have three icons – KVM, audio, and USB. The icons on the Mode

pushbutton light up when the Mode pushbutton is pressed to indicate cycling

through the corresponding KVM, audio, and USB modes.

The icons on the port selection pushbuttons light up to indicate the current

status of the computer that corresponds to that port. For example, if the audio

icon is lit up above the port 3 selection pushbutton, this indicates that the

computer attached to port 3 currently has the audio focus.

For manual port selection:

 To bring complete focus (audio, KVM, and USB) to a computer, either, a)

press the port selection pushbutton that corresponds to that computer; or b)

press the Mode pushbutton once (the Mode pushbutton’s three icons light

up) and then press the port selection pushbutton that corresponds to that

computer. All three port icons light up.

 To bring only the KVM focus to a computer, press the Mode pushbutton

twice (the Mode pushbutton’s KVM icon lights up), and then press the

port selection pushbutton that corresponds to that computer. The port’s

KVM icon (the port number) lights up.

 To bring only the audio focus to a computer, press the Mode pushbutton

three times (the Mode pushbutton’s audio icon lights up), and then press

the port selection pushbutton that corresponds to that computer. The port’s

audio icon lights up.
