', only the power-on and

eye mark selected computers will be displayed sequentially in
Scan mode.

Function key <F3>: To lock a device (a computer or a Slave)

from unauthorized access, use Security. Security is effective
for only one device (a computer or a Slave). To lock a device,
use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys to highlight it, then
press <F3>. Now, enter up to 4 characters (‘A’~’Z’, ‘0’~’9, ‘-‘)
followed by <ENTER> as new password. A Security-enabled
device is marked with a lock (±) following its port number. To
permanently disable the security function from a locked device,
highlight it, press <F3> then enter the password.

If you want to access the locked device temporarily, simply
highlight it and press <ENTER>, the OSD will ask you for the
password. After entering correct password, you are allowed to
use the device. This device is automatically re-locked once you
switch to another one. During Scan mode, OSD skips the
security-enabled device. NOTE: Only one device (a computer
or a Slave) can be locked by this function at a time.


If you forget the password, the only way to permanently
disable the security function is to remove all possible
power sources from the master KVM Switch. You need to
turn off all computers and unplug all power adapters, then
restart everything.

Function key <F4>: More functions are available by hitting

<F4>. A new screen pops up displaying more functions as
described below. Most of them are marked with a triangle ()
indicating there are options to choose from. Using the <UP>
and <DOWN> arrow keys, select the functions and press
<ENTER>. Available options will be shown in the middle of the
screen. Again, using the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys to
view options then press <ENTER> to select it. You can press
<ESCAPE> to exit at any time.

 Auto Scan

In this mode, the KVM Switch automatically switches from
one power-on computer to the next sequentially in a fixed
interval. During Auto Scan mode, the OSD displays the
name of the selected computer. When Auto Scan detects
any keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends the scanning till
activity stops; it then resumes with the next computer in
sequence. To abort the Auto Scan mode, press the left
<CTRL> twice, or, press any front button. Scan Type and
Scan Rate set the scan pattern. Scan Type
(<F4>:More\Scan Type) determines if scanned computers
must also be eye mark selected. Scan Rate
(<F4>:More\Scan Rate) sets the display interval when a
computer is selected before selecting the next one.


 Manual Scan
Scan through power-on computers one by one by keyboard

control. Scan Type (<F4>:More\Scan Type) determines if
scanned computers must also be eye mark selected.
Press the up arrow key (

) to select the previous computer

and the down arrow key (

) to select the next computer.

Press any other key to abort the Manual Scan mode.


 Audio Stick
An optional multimedia module can be LINKed to the back

of each KVM Switch for selecting microphone and stereo
speaker signals. There are two options for Audio Stick: ON
and Off. When set to 'On', audio selection follows
computer selection. When set to 'Off', audio selection
stops following computer selection. It is useful if you want
to listen to a particular computer's audio signal while
operating other computers. The non-volatile memory
stores the Audio Stick setting.
