Using the SCOUTutp
Note: Before switching your computers on, please configure non PS/2 computers
emulation type in the OSD!
The SCOUTutp provides two possibilities to select the desired computer. You may use either the
keyboard Hot Key commands or take advantage of the OSD (On-Screen-Display).
You may notice that the mouse cannot be used for around 1 second when the SCOUTutp switches to
another computer. This is normal and is caused by the synchronization process which ensures that
the mouse operates correctly.
