Basic Operation
Powering Off and Restarting
In the event that you need to power off the KVM switch, you must follow the steps below:
1. Shut down all computers connected to the KVM switch
2. Unplug the power supply from the KVM switch
3. Wait 10 seconds and then plug the power supply back into the KVM switch
4. Power on all of the connected computers
Port Switching
There are three ways of accessing computers and devices connected to the KVM switch:
• Manual Pushbuttons
• Mouse port switching functionality
• Hotkeys
Manual Pushbuttons
Pressing a pushbutton will bring the focus of one of the following to the corresponding
port;
KVM only, Audio only, USB only,
or
KVM, Audio and USB focus simultaneously
.
What functionality is switched is determined by the
Mode Selection
pushbutton.
Press the
Mode Selection
pushbutton to determine the functionality that is switched to
a port when its pushbutton is pressed. Pressing the mode selection pushbutton once
highlights the
KVM, Audio
and
USB
functionality icons all at the same time. Pressing it
twice highlights
KVM only
; three times
Audio only
; and four times
USB only
.
After selecting the desired functionality via the
Mode Selection
pushbutton, press the
pushbutton of the port you want to switch that functionality to.
Pressing and holding pushbuttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for more than 2 seconds will
initiate
Auto Scan
mode at the default interval of 5 seconds per port.
Auto Scan
mode
switches between ports at regular intervals. During
Auto Scan
mode, only the KVM focus
switches between ports, while Audio and USB remain on the port they were at when
Auto
Scan
mode was initiated. To exit
Auto Scan
mode, press the [Esc] or [Spacebar] key. On
the B004-2DUA4-K, pressing and holding pushbuttons 3 and 4 simultaneously for more
than 2 seconds performs a keyboard/mouse reset.
Mouse Port Switching Functionality
When enabled, the
Mouse Port Switching Functionality
allows users with scroll mice
to simultaneously switch the focus of the
KVM, Audio
and
USB
between ports by
double-clicking the scroll wheel on their mouse. When used, ports will be accessed in
sequential order. (e.g. port 1 will switch to port 2; port 2 to port 3, and so on).
As this function is disabled by default, you have to enable it via hotkey command
(See
Mouse Port Switching
in the
Hotkeys
section of this manual for details).
For
Mouse Port Switching Functionality
to work,
Mouse Emulation
must be turned on.
Hotkeys
Hotkeys allow you to switch functionality focus between ports using only the keyboard,
as well as configure KVM switch settings. The following section describes the hotkey
functionality available for the B004-2DUA2-K and B004-2DUA4-K.
