Use one USB keyboard, one monitor and one USB mouse to control up to four USB computers. [. . . ] A few PC keyboards and all Apple keyboards do not have a [Scroll Lock] key. If you have one of these keyboards you must use the alternate toggle key of [Control] instead. Enter advanced hotkey mode as described in the next section and press [T]. Then all of the following commands will work by simply pressing the [Control] key in place of the [Scroll Lock] key. [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] [Enter] ­ This will switch everything (KVM and sound) to the next port with a computer that is powered on. If only one computer is on, this will have no effect. [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] (number) [Enter] ­ This will switch everything (KVM and sound) to the exact port number typed. The number must be between 1 and 4, and you must use the numbers across the top of the keyboard, not the number pad. This command will work even if the computer on that port is not powered on. [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] [K] [Enter] ­ This will switch the KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) to the next port with a computer that is powered on. The sound will not switch, allowing you to remain listening to the same computer as before. [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] (number) [K] [Enter] ­ This will switch the KVM (keyboard, video, and 12 Operation mouse) to the exact port number typed. The number must be between 1 and 4, and you must use the numbers across the top of the keyboard, not the number pad. The sound will not switch, allowing you to remain listening to the same computer as before. [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] [S] [Enter] ­ This will switch only the speakers to the next port with a computer that is powered on. The keyboard, video, and mouse will remain where they were. [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] (number) [S] [Enter] ­ This will switch only the speakers to the exact port number typed. The number must be between 1 and 4, and you must use the numbers across the top of the keyboard, not the number pad. The keyboard, video, and mouse will remain where they were. 13 Operation Advanced Hotkeys You may enter advanced hotkey mode by pressing and holding [Num Lock] on the number pad, then pressing the [-] key on the number pad and immediately releasing both keys. On Apple keyboards the [Clear] key on the number pad should be used in place of [Num Lock]. If you have done this correctly the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights on the keyboard should begin flashing. This means you are in hotkey mode, which will be shortened to just [HKM] below. [. . . ] Open a word processor before using this command in order to see how the KVM is configured. [HKM] [F5] ­ This will reset the USB ports on the switch, and may clear up any keyboard or mouse problems. 15 Operation [HKM] [X] [Enter] ­ This will disable all toggle key functions. Neither [Scroll Lock] nor [Control] will allow you to change ports until this command is entered again. [. . . ]
