NOTE: The universal hotkey is not available for Mac. And neither the universal hotkey nor user-
definable hotkeys allow you to switch to an empty port that is not connected with any computer.
To switch to an empty port, just press the corresponding face-panel button.
Each keystroke within a hotkey sequence should be pressed within 2 seconds. Otherwise, the
hotkey sequence will not be validated.
After switching ports, wait for the KVM Switch icon to show the target port before switching again.
The icon can be found on the system tray of your Windows desktop after its installation.
Hotkeys are functional only after your PCs boot into the OS. If you want to switch a PC in the BIOS/
preboot stage, press the corresponding face-panel button.
KVM Switcher
In addition to PC switching, the KVM Switcher software offers more advanced functions.
Switch PCs by Operation Menu: Right-click the KVM Switcher icon to
display the operation menu, then select whichever PC that is available for
switching. Once you select a PC channel, it’ll immediately switch to that PC.
Unconnected port(s) and the active port are grayed-out and non-selectable.
Switch PCs by Keyboard Hotkeys: Hit the hotkey according to your current
definition: Hotkey sequence = Ctrl + Alt + [command key]. The factory default
hotkey setting is Ctrl + Alt + 1/2/3/4 for PCs 1–4. You can also use ScrLk + ScrLk.
