Operate the KVM Switch
There are three methods to control your KVM Switch for PCs.
(1) face-panel push button
(2) hotkey sequence
(3) KVM Client Switching Software
Face-panel button
The face-panel button allows you a direct control over KVM
switching operation. Simply press the button to switch to the
corresponding PC port.
You can use the face-panel button to switch to an empty port that is
not connected with any computer. Normally, if you use keyboard
hotkeys or the KVM Switching software, you will not be able to
switch to an empty port.
Keyboard hotkeys
User-definable hotkeys for PC selection:
Hotkey sequence = Ctrl + Alt + [command key]*
Universal hotkey for PC toggle-switching:
* Please refer to next section for keys that are qualified to be used as
a command key

NOTE:
•Both the universal hotkey, ScrLk + ScrLk and the user-
definable hotkey, Ctrl + Alt + [command key] WILL NOT
allow you to switch to an empty port that is not connected
with any computer. To force your KVM to switch to an empty
port, just press the face-panel button to switch.
Universal Hotkey sequence = ScrLk + ScrLk
* For other operating systems on PC such as Linux, you can still
use this special hotkey to facilitate PC switching. This special
hotkey is not available for Mac. However, you can press button to
switch in any case.
•Each keystroke within a hotkey sequence should be pressed
within 2 seconds. Otherwise, the hotkey sequence will not be
validated.
•After perform port switching, you have to wait till the KVM
Switch icon shows forth the target port before you can
perform next switching again. The KVM Switch icon could be
found on the system tray of your Windows desktop after its
installation.
•All the hotkeys are only functional after your PCs are booting
into the OS. If you want to switch PC in the BIOS/preboot
stage, press the face-panel button to switch.
