ATEN CS-1754 CS-1758 - Manual (Page 24)

Port Selection
The CS-1754 / CS-1758 provides three methods to obtain instant
access to any computer in your installation: Manual, Hotkey, and OSD.
w Manual
Simply press the appropriate Port Selection Switch on the CS-1754 /
CS-1758’s front panel. After you press the switch, the Selected LED
lights to indicate that the port has the KVM focus. The OSD (see p.
28) automatically switches to highlight the computer that you have
selected.
Note: 1. On a cascaded installation, you must press the Port
Selection switch on the CS-1754 / CS-1758 Station that
connects directly to the computer you want to access.
2. Simultaneously pressing Port Selection buttons 3 and 4 (for
the CS-1754) or 7 and 8 (for the CS-1758) on the First
Stage unit initiates the Auto Scan feature (see F7 SCAN, p.
37), in which all the ports currently selected for Quick View
scanning (see Set Quick View Ports, p. 36), are cycled
through. The length of time spent on each port is
determined with the Scan Duration setting under the OSD’s
F3 SET function (see p. 33).
w Hotkey
Hotkeys allow you to conveniently provide KVM focus to a particular
computer from the keyboard, instead of having to manually select
them by pressing Port Selection switches. Hotkey operation is
discussed in detail beginning on p. 19.
w OSD
OSD (On Screen Display), provides a menu driven interface to
handle the computer switching procedure to provide instant access to
any computer on the installation. OSD operation is discussed in detail
beginning on p. 28.
