Operation

There are two ways to access the computers connected to your KVM

switch; Pushbutton or Keyboard Hotkey Commands.

Pushbutton
Press the pushbutton on the KVM to toggle between the connected

computers. When toggling between ports, the default is for the computer,

audio and USB hub functionality to be switched together. To un-bind

either audio or USB hub control from port switching, use the keyboard

hotkey commands listed in the following section.

Keyboard Hotkey Commands
Another way to switch between connected computers is to use keyboard

hotkey commands. Besides allowing you to switch computers, hotkey

commands enable you to perform other functions, such as binding/

unbinding computer switching with audio and/or the USB hub ports, initiate

an auto scan, etc. The following table lists the available keyboard hotkey

commands, explains how to initiate them and describes what they do.
