4.3 KVM ’s Switch Operation
(1) Switch Ports by Hotkey Commands
You can conveniently command KVM Switch via a simple hotkey sequence. To send commands to
KVM Switch, you must press the hotkey (default is Caps Lock) twice within 2 seconds. You will
hear a beep sound confirming you are in the hotkey mode. If you do not press any key during
hotkey mode over 2 seconds the hotkey mode will be terminated and back to normal state.
The default hotkey is Caps Lock but you can change hotkey as your application convenience. If
you prefer to use other hotkey, please go to OSD menu and change the default hotkey to the other.
The table below lists all the supported hotkey commands.
