Port Switching

There are four convenient methods to switch between the computers: Manual
– by pressing the port selection pushbuttons on the front panel, Mouse – by
clicking the scroll wheel of the mouse, Hotkey – by entering combinations on

the keyboard, and RS-232 Commands – by entering the correct command and
control.
