Hotkey Operation

The CS1942DP / CS1944DP provides an extensive, easy-to-use, Hotkey
function that makes it convenient to control and configure your KVM
installation from the keyboard. Hotkeys provide asynchronous (independent)
switching of the KVM, USB hub and audio focus. If you wish, you can give
one computer the KVM console focus, another the USB hub focus and the
other two the audio focus.

Hotkey Port Switching

All port switches begin with tapping the

[Scroll Lock]

key twice. The tables

below describe the actions that each combination performs.

Note:

If using the Scroll Lock key conflicts with other programs running on
the computer, the

[Ctrl]

key can be used, instead. See

Alternate Port

Switching Keys

, page 25, for details.
